Rugged Rails 2-8-0 Steam Engine
Freight Yard Sounds (FYS)
Your engine is equipped with a sound package of freight yard sounds that you can
play when you pull into a yard. Each sequence described below will play as long
as it is left on, randomly generating sounds, but be sure to allow approximately 30
seconds between the button pushes described below to allow the FYS sufficient
time to run through each sequence.
• To cue the sound system to play the FYS, quickly but firmly tap the Bell button
once followed by 2 quick taps of the Horn button while the engine is moving. Tap
the buttons quickly but allow approximately ½ second between each press.
• Press the Direction button once to stop the engine. This will trigger the first
sequence of FYS. The reverse unit is temporarily disabled so that the train will not
move as you use the Direction button to trigger the sounds, and Proto-Sound 2.0
has disabled operator control over the Horn and Bell buttons until the full FYS
sequence is complete.
• After waiting about 30 seconds for that sequence to run, press the Direction
button again to trigger the second sequence of FYS.
• After about 30 seconds, press the Direction button again to trigger the third FYS
sequence.
• Again, after allowing about 30 seconds for that sequence to run, press the
Direction button one more time to trigger the fourth and final FYS sequence. The
FYS will continue, and within a few seconds, the engine will start and move out
on its own at the current throttle setting, in the same direction it was traveling
when you began the sequence. Once the bell turns off, the operator regains
control of the transformer's Bell and Horn buttons and can ring the bell or blow
the horn as usual.
