Basic Operation
The Throttle knob controls how fast your train will travel. Turn the throttle knob
up ½-way, until the engine and caboose lights shine bright. Put the engine into
motion by pressing the Direction button on your transformer once. (hold it for
approximately 1 second)
If the engine does not begin to move as soon as you firmly press the Direction
button, you may not have sent enough voltage to the track to make the train move.
Turn the throttle up a bit higher until the train begins to move.
Activating Features
Throttle
To increase or decrease track voltage, and therefore train speed, turn the
throttle control knob. Turning clockwise will increase voltage and speed, while
turning counterclockwise will decrease voltage and speed. The engine will maintain
the speed you set after you release the throttle until you turn it again to change the
voltage and speed.
Bell
- To sound the bell, in an engine equipped with a bell firmly press and release
the Bell button. To turn the bell off, press and release the Bell button again. The
bell will continue to ring from the time you turn it on until you press and release
the button again to turn it off.
Horn/Whistle
- To sound the whistle, firmly press the Horn/Whistle button. The
whistle will sound for as long as you continue to depress the button. It will stop
when you release the button.
Direction
Your train is programmed to start in neutral. The train will always cycle
neutral-forward-neutral-reverse with each press
and release of the direction button. The engine
is programmed to restart in neutral before
forward each time the track voltage is turned off
for 25 seconds or more.
Grade Crossing Signal
DCS Mode Only
-
Customers that operate this engine in
DCS will find a new feature added to the engine sound set. Now there is a soft key
(SXS) that sounds the correct 2 longs, a short and another long whistle blast to
announce that the train is approaching a grade crossing.
To sound the grade crossing signal, locate the soft keys at the top of the DCS
Remote. Scroll to the left until SXS acronym is showing.
A single push and release of the SXS soft key will produce the correct 2 longs, a
short and another long whistle blast of the Grade Crossing Signal.
Anytime you want to sound the Grade crossing Signal just press and release the
SXS soft key.
