Analog Programming
The Gas Turbine Locomotive can be Programmed Using a Standard Power Pack.
All advanced operations are easily programmed using your standard HO power pack. After entering programming (described below), the
various features are selected and operated by using the direction switch.

Customizes Turbine Whine Volume (16 levels). Max is 15.
Where “X” is the current value of the Program Option. Defaults are shown in parenthesis along with the option name; defaults for volume levels are listed on the Diesel Model
Specification sheet included with your locomotive. .
Entering Programming
Use this simple sequence to enter Programming using the direction switch.
3.
Apply power and turn up the throttle to hear the sound system come on.
4.
Within five seconds of powering up, turn on the Bell with a
Quick
flip-and-back operation.
5.
Within three seconds of the Bell turning on, turn off the bell with a second
Quick
flip-and back operation.
6.
Within three seconds, turn the Bell back on again with a third
Quick
flip-and-back operation.
If you delay too long after power has been first applied, the opportunity to enter Programming will time out and you will need to start
again by shutting off and reapplying track power.
Once you perform the three bell operations after applying power, the Bell will shut off automatically and you will hear “Enter Programming”
and
the Headlight and Reverse Light will flash alternately off and on.
13
POP
is short for “
P
rogram
Op
tion”.
14
The verbal programming responses (such as “Enter Programming” etc.) have a minimum volume setting to provide programming information even when the system volume is
turned all the way off.
15
You can set volume with the Manual Volume Control or with Programming or both. The Manual Volume Control will determine the range of volume control under Programming;
that is, if you turn the Manual Volume Control down to say, 50%, you will not be able to increase the volume above the 50% value using Programming.
16
Some lights, such as Number Board Lights, on the Gas Turbine that are not controlled by the Quantum System will remain on.
