Locking Locomotive Into A Direction
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 Horn button once followed by three quick taps of the Bell
button, allowing approximately ½ second to lapse between each quick button press. Two
horn blasts will indicate that the engine has made the change. The engine will not change
direction (including going into neutral) until you repeat the 1 horn, 3 bells code to return
the engine to its normal condition, even if the engine is kept without power for extended
periods of time.
Reset To Factory Default
To override the settings you currently have assigned to the engine and reset it to its factory
defaults, while in Neutral tap the Horn button quickly once, followed by five quick taps of
the Bell button, allowing approximately ½ second to lapse between each quick button press.
Two horn blasts will indicate that the engine has made the change.
Automatic Sound Effects
Certain Proto-Sound 2.0 sound effects automatically play in programmed conventional
mode conditions:
• Squealing Brakes play any time the engine's speed decreases rapidly.
• Platform Action sounds play at random intervals when the engine idles in neutral.
• Engine Start-up and Shut-down sounds play when the engine is initially powered on or is
powered off for five seconds or more.
