RAILKING
II. After entering neutral, ProtoSounds® will immediately play an air
release sound followed approximately two seconds later by an arrival
message. The arrival message lists the
train by name and the track it arrived on.
Immediately following the arrival
message, the sound of the trains’ doors
opening can be heard, followed by a
conductor’s warning to passengers to
“watch your step.” At this point, various
randomly activated ambient train stations
sounds will begin playing and replaying
as long as the engine sits in this neutral state (Neutral Before
Reverse). The sounds include passenger footsteps, muffled voices,
horse trotting, horse neighing and another train’s whistle tooting. In
addition, several highlight or foreground sounds play including more
conductor voices saying “watch your step”, “have a nice day”, and
“baggage to the right”.
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, PFA has disabled the reverse phase so that it doesn’t power the
motors and cause the engine to move backward. Upon entering reverse,
PFA confirms to the operator that it has
entered the reverse state by immediately
playing the highlight sound of the
conductor’s voice saying “baggage to the
right.” This is followed by the continued
ambient sounds of passenger footsteps,
muffled voices, town drunk, music and a
dog barking. These sounds and the
conductor highlight are randomly repeated
as long as the system remains in the
“reverse” state.
