To force the Labor Chuff sound in a steam engine, press the F16 button
once (enable F16). As long as F16 is enabled the engine will play its
Labor Chuff sounds. To set the sound back to Normal Chuff press the F16
button again (disable F16).
Rev Down/Drift Chuff – F17. Depending upon the engine type you have
Diesel/Electric or steam you can either force the engine to Rev Down
(Diesel/Electric) or force the engine to play its Drift Chuff sounds. For a
Diesel/Electric, press the F17 button twice (toggling on then off) to Rev
Down one notch. There are eight rev levels in a Diesel/Electric.
To force the Drift Chuff sound in a steam engine, press the F19 button
once (enable F17). As long as F17 is enabled the engine will play its Drift
Chuff sounds. To set the sound back to Normal Chuff press the F17 button
again (disable F17).
For example, if you set the rev level on a Diesel to notch 6 and start
increasing the speed of the engine it will stay at that rev level until the
engine's speed calls for a higher rev level. Once the engine has gone past
that rev level, notch 6 in this example, the engine will then rev down
normally, all the way to idle, as you decrease the speed.
Single Whistle/Horn Blast – F19. To play a Single Horn Blast press the
F19 button twice (toggling in on then off). This plays a single, short horn
blast.
Coupler Close – F20. To play the Coupler Close sound press the F20
button twice (toggling it on then off). You can play this sound as you're
coupling cars together to add realism.
One Shot Doppler – F26. You can set your MTH PS3.0-equipped engine
to simulate the actual Doppler Effect sound a real engine makes as it
passes you. To do this, press the F26 button once (enable F26) and then
listen as the engine makes that pitch shift that mimics the Doppler Effect
perfectly. Press the F26 button again (disable F26) to shut off the Doppler
Effect. With a little practice in timing and speed you can make this happen
right in front of you.
Brake Sounds – F27. Pressing the F27 button (enable F27) will disable the
Brake Sounds for your engine. The Brake Sounds occur when you reduce
the speed of your engine rapidly. To enable the Brake Sounds press the
F27 button (disable F27). Brake Sounds are On by default.
