Event 5: (Forward)
The operator now interrupts the transformer throttle again to enter the
next reverse unit phase; Forward. FYS confirms to the operator that it has entered the Forward
phase by playing the sound of the freight car door closing.
Within 2 seconds of the door closing, the locomotive bell
begins chiming. After approximately 8 chimes of the bell,
the engine begins moving in the forward phase with the bell
continuing to ring another 8 chimes before automatically
turning off. Once the bell turns off, the operator regains
control of the transformer whistle and bell buttons and can
ring the bell or blow the whistle as usual.
Note:
When entering the Forward phase of FYS, it is
important to set the transformer throttle at a high enough
setting that will allow the engine to begin moving once FYS automatically activates the motors.
Otherwise the engine will just sit still until you increase the transformer throttle setting on the
transformer. However, don’t set the throttle setting too high or the engine will go racing away
faster than you might expect.
