the sounds of doors opening and the conductor saying “Watch your step” is
heard. At this point, various Passenger Station sounds can be heard,
including passenger footsteps, muffled voices, baggage being moved about
and whistling for a taxi. Additionally, several conductor highlights will be
heard in the foreground.
Event 2:
Interrupt the transformer throttle
again to cycle the engine from neutral into
reverse. In order to have the engine leave
the yard in the same direction it entered
Proto-Sound® disables the motors in this
reverse state to prevent the engine from
running backwards. PFA confirms reverse
is entered by playing the conductor saying
“Baggage to the right/left.” Once this
highlight is played, the Passenger Station 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. PFA confirms that the engine is now in neutral by
sounding two quick air releases. This is followed approximately two
seconds later by a Boarding Announcement message and continued
Passenger Station sounds. Conductor highlights, such as “Welcome
aboard” and “Tickets please” will play randomly.
Event 4:
Interrupt the transformer throttle again to complete the PFA
feature and cycle the engine into forward. PFA confirms it has entered
forward by playing the conductor’s call “All Aboard!” and the sound of the
passenger 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.
