RailKing Genesis Train Set Operating Manual
RAILKING
Event 1 (Forward) While the locomotive is running in forward (or
reverse) PFA is activated by the operator pushing and holding the bell
button down for three or more seconds. The locomotive bell begins
chiming and can be left on or turned off without disabling PFA.
Event 2 (Neutral Before Reverse) The operator now interrupts the
transformer throttle to stop the engine and put it into neutral. If the
throttle setting was at 14 volts or higher,Proto-Sound® will play the
sound of squealing brakes as the engine comes to a stop.
I. Upon stopping of the engine, the operator must immediately turns
the throttle back on as the engine sits in neutral. If the bell was not
turned off after activating PFA, it now turns
off automatically.
Note:
Failure to turn the throttle
back on within 3 seconds of leaving the
forward phase will disable PFA and
shutdown Proto-Sound®. The next time
you turn power back on your engine
will be in the RESET position. See page 7 for more information.
II. After entering neutral, Proto-Sound® will immediately play an
air release sound followed approximately two seconds later by an
arrival message. The arrival message lists the train by name and
the track it arrived on (the track is identified as either track 1 or
track 2, alternating each time during the current operating
session). Immediately following the arrival message, the sound of
the trains’ doors opening can be heard,
followed by a conductor’s warning to
passengers to “watch your step.” At
this point, various randomly activated
ambient train stations sounds will begin
playing and replaying as long as the
engine sits in this neutral state (Neutral
Before Reverse). The sounds include
passenger footsteps as they disembark, muffled voices, baggage
being moved about, crashing sound, and whistling for a taxi. In
addition, several highlight or foreground sounds play including
more conductor voices saying “watch your step”, “have a nice
day”, and “baggage to the right”.
