Rugged Rails 2-8-0 Steam Engine
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.
• Cab Chatter plays 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.
