RailKing F-3 Diesel Freight Set with Loco-Sound™
Direction Lock
You can lock your engine into a direction (forward, neutral, or reverse) so that it will not
change directions. To do this, put the engine into the direction you want or into neutral, to
lock it into neutral, run it at a very slow crawl (as slowly as it will move without halting),
and quickly but firmly tap the Whistle button once followed by three quick taps of the
Bell button, allowing approximately ½ second to lapse between each quick button press.
The engine will not change direction (including going into neutral) until you repeat the 1
whistle, 3 bells code to return the engine to its normal condition, even if the engine is kept
without power for extended periods of time.
Manual Volume Control
To adjust the volume of all sounds made by this engine, turn the master volume control
knob located under the tender clockwise to increase the volume and counter-clockwise to
decrease the volume.
