Speed Control
Your powered car is equipped with speed control. This feature is always
active, even in analog DC mode. Basically, your powered car constantly
measures track voltage and converts this to a digital speed command. You
should notice the speed remains constant up and down grades, around
curves, and with varying loads. This is no accident. You've got the most
precise speed control system available today.
Sounds
In this
mode, sounds are pretty much automatic. If you’re moving, you’ll
hear the sounds of the subway car’s motor.
When your sitting at idle, there may be some station sounds. You may also
hear voices fro
m the conductor or from passengers.
When you’re moving at a pretty good clip and you reduce the throttle
quickly, you may hear the brakes squeak and squeal as the engineer applies
them. Of course, they’ll stop when the powered car does.
If things get too noisy, just locate the sound volume pot underneath the
powered car, adjust the volume from maximum down to off, whatever
suits you. Turn it counterclockwise to reduce the volume or clockwise to
increase it.
Lighting
Now, this is an illuminating section (we couldn't resist). Your powered car
is equipped with headlights, taillights, end & side destination boards, route
signs and local/express lights. Your non-powered cars are equipped with
interior lighting and side destination boards.
The first thing to know about the lighting is there aren’t any bulbs. It’s all
LEDs, so you should never have to replace them. As with sounds, in
analog DC mode, lighting operation is fully automatic. They’re always on
and behave appropriately.
