B. After entering Neutral, ProtoSounds® will immediately play an
air release sound followed approximately 2 seconds later by a radio
arrival message (cab chatter).
Immediately following the radio arrival
message, the sound of freight car doors
can be heard opening, followed by the
sounds of freight loading and unloading.
At this point various freight yard sounds
can be heard including the
loading/unloading operation, engine
sounds, yardman “slang”, and additional
freight car door sounds.
Event 3: (Reverse)
The operator now interrupts the transformer throttle
again to enter the next reverse unit phase; reverse. In an effort to enhance
realism, FYS has disabled the reverse
phase so that it doesn’t power the motors
causing the engine to move backward.
Upon entering reverse, FYS confirms to
the operator that it has entered the reverse
phase by immediately playing a highlight
sound best described as a rumbling sound.
You may have to go through the entire
FYS sequence several times before you can
clearly identify this sound. After the rumbling highlight is played, the
freight yard sounds heard in Event 2 continue to play randomly.
Event 4: (Neutral Before Forward)
The operator now interrupts the
transformer throttle again to enter the next reverse unit phase, neutral before
forward. FYS confirms to the operator that it has entered the neutral before
forward phase by emitting two quick air release sounds. This is followed
approximately two seconds later by a radio
departing message and continued freight
yard loading and unloading sounds.
