Sometimes the Cab Chatter
sounds don’t play.
I can’t get the engine to run after I
power up the transformer. It sits
The engine won’t lock into
forward, neutral, or reverse.
The sounds seem distorted,
especially when the whistle or bell
is activated.
The engine will not leave the initial
neutral setting.
The FYS/PSA sounds occasionally
repeat themselves.
I get no sounds when the engine
shifts between directions.
After I turn off my transformer, my
engine continues to make sounds
before quitting.
Cab Chatter plays only in neutral
at random intervals.
The engine is locked into the
neutral position. Follow the
procedure in the “Lock into a
Direction” section.
Engine speed must be below 10
scale mph (approx. 10 volts or
less in conventional mode).
Proto-Sound 2.0 volume is set too
high. Turn the volume control knob
on the bottom of the chassis
counter-clockwise to reduce the
volume.
Check to be sure the battery is
installed and fully charged. See
the “Self-Charging Battery Back-
Up” section.
The battery may be dead or need
to be charged. See the “Self-
Charging Battery Back-Up”
section.
Proto-Sound 2.0 is designed to
continue to sound for a few
seconds after power to the track
has been shut off.
Proto-Sound 2.0 has a built-in
random number generator that
randomly selects each sound clip
to play. Because there are a
limited number of sound clips
available in each FYS/PSA
sequence, it is probable that some
of these sound clips will be
repeated from time to time.
