shines brightly. Then put the engine in to motion by either firmly pressing the Direction 

button on your transformer or remote once or dropping and advancing to throttle to put

the engine in forward.

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. the whistle has four different endings, depending on whether you hold the 

button for less than three seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds  or longer.

Bell

- To sound the 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 your turn it

on until you press the release the button again to turn it off.

Direction

- Your train is programmed to start in neutral. To put the engine into forward 

and then to change the direction of the train or to put it into neutral, firmly press and

release the Direction button on your transformer. Just as you must stop your car between

forward and reverse, this engine will not go directly from forward to reverse; it goes into

neutral between directions. If the train has been moving forward, the first press of the

Direction button will put the train from forward into neutral, the second press into reverse, 

the third press back into neutral, and the fourth back into forward. To prevent accidental

high-speed start-ups, this engine is programmed to restart in neutral each time the track

voltage is turned off or 10 seconds or more.
