Double-Flash Strobe
The xenon double-flash strobe effect emits two rapid flashes of light during each flash rate
timing cycle. CV 59 is used to modify the flash rate timing cycle.
Western-Cullen D312 Rotary Beacon
The Western-Cullen D312 Rotary Beacon effect follows a revolving reflector and bulb assembly
flash-pattern.
Prime Stratolite
The Stratolite is a new version of the rotary beacon. Four individual lamps are arranged in a
circular pattern and flash electronically in the clockwise direction. The Stratolite flashes in a
mechanical “stepped” fashion, unlike the smooth motion of the rotary beacon.
Ditch Lights I and II
Ditch lights I and II flash together by default. When Grade-Crossing Logic is enabled, ditch light I
assumes a steady “on” state before and after the crossing hold timer countdown. Conversely,
ditch light II will remain off before and after the crossing hold timer countdown. To configure
alternating ditch lights, set one lighting output to ditch light I or II and enable Grade-Crossing
Logic, and then set a second lighting output to the same ditch light and enable Grade-Crossing
Logic and phase offset.
FRED (Flashing Rear End Device)
The FRED effect is a flashing red taillight that indicates the rear of the train.
Auto-Dim Forward and Reverse
The auto-dim forward effect will automatically dim lighting outputs to the dimmer level in CV 63
when in the forward direction, and the auto-dim reverse effect will automatically dim lighting
outputs to the dimmer level in CV 63 when in the reverse direction.
Brake Light
The brake light effect is dimmed to the brightness setting in CV 63 when active. The brake light
brightness level will be automatically set to 100% when you turn on the independent or train
brake function (F11 by default).
On/Off Brightness 1 and 2
The on/off brightness 1 and 2 effects will set lighting outputs to the brightness levels of CVs 61
and 62, respectively.
Emergency Gyralite
The emergency Gyralite follows the same oscillating sweep pattern as the Gyralite, and will
automatically disable all active lighting effects.
Electrical Arcing
The electrical arcing effect produces a simulated “shower of sparks” in time with the electrical
arcing sound effect to simulate the pantograph breaking contact with the overhead wire. This
effect only works above speed step 10 in 128 speed step mode.
Phase Offset
Add a value of 32 to the value of flashing Hyperlight effects to set the corresponding lighting
output to Phase B from Phase A. Flashing effects set to Phase B will flash opposite of flashing
effects set to Phase A, i.e., Phase A turns off when Phase B turns on, and Phase A turns on
when Phase B turns off.
