MTH GP38-2 Operating Instructions
You may have to go through the entire
FYS sequence several times before you
clearly identify this sound. After the
rumbling highlight is played, the freight
yard sounds heard in Event 1 will continue
to play.
Event 3:
Interrupt the transformer throttle
again to cycle the engine from reverse back
to neutral. FYS confirms that the engine is
now in neutral by sounding two quick air
releases. This is followed approximately
two seconds later by a man whistling and
continued freight yard loading and
unloading sounds.
Event 4:
Interrupt the transformer throttle
again to complete the FYS feature and
cycle the engine into forward. FYS confirms it has entered forward by
playing the sound of the freight car door closing. Within two seconds, the
whistle will sound two short blasts (three if
entering reverse), and the bell will begin to
chime. After a few chimes of the bell, the
engine will begin moving in forward with
the bell continuing to ring. A few seconds
later, the bell will turn off, and the engine
will resume normal operation.
Note: When
entering Event 4, it is important to set the
transformer throttle at a high enough
setting that the engine will begin to move
when the motors are activated. However, the throttle should not be too
high for the engine to maintain a safe operating speed.
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.
