LEGACY RailSounds Sequence Control
Y
our LEGACY-equipped locomotive features Sequence Control. Based on the movement and speed of
the locomotive, Sequence Control automatically plays the sound effects of an entire trip, from depar-
ture to destination, while you run your locomotive. Prototypical horn signals, bell, and radio chatter are
added automatically as you spin your throttle—no need to memorize a sequence of button presses.
To activate the Sequence Control feature, press and hold the
AUX1
button for three seconds.
You'll hear a unique bell/horn signal, indicating that Sequence Control is now enabled. Release
the
AUX1
key when you hear the sound.
Now, radio chatter, air brake release, and warning signals will play automatically as you move
out, reach cruising speed, and then decelerate for arrival, as illustrated in Figure 6. Plus, you can
still activate CrewTalk communication and TowerCom announcements using your remote.
To discontinue Sequence Control, you must tap
AUX1
, and then tap the
0
key or the
RESET
button. Cycling track power off and back on also turns off Sequence Control mode.
During sequence control mode operation, speed step 1 is used to trigger departure effects
such are air brake release and departure horn. Therefore your engine will not begin
moving until speed step 2 and the Roll Mode button will bring your engine to a stop
while Sequence Control mode is enabled. For the most realistic operation, medium or
high momentum is recommended when using Sequence Control.
