Tips on Using FYS
• You can terminate FYS at anytime by turning off power to the
track for 15 seconds.
• You do not have to be in Forward to use FYS. At the
conclusion of the full sequence, the train will pull away from the
station in whatever direction you were going when you activated
the feature.
• You can use FYS even if you are double-heading with another
engine. If the second engine is not equipped with FYS at all,
you must remember not to leave the throttle at a high voltage
level once you have stopped the engine to run the FYS.
Otherwise, the engine without FYS will begin vibrating on the
track as its motors strain to move the train, since they cannot be
automatically disabled during the FYS cycle. If the second
engine is an original Proto-Sound engine equipped with FYS,
you may choose to disable it when used in double-heading
operations, so you will not experience competing FYS sounds.
To disable FYS in an original Proto-Sound engine, see the
operating instructions for that engine.
• FYS can be triggered from Neutral. It will operate the same as
if triggered while in motion except that, at the conclusion of the
FYS, the engine will depart in the next direction of travel, as
opposed to the direction it was traveling before entering Neutral.
