F10 Class Lights

If you have our FP9A locomotive, you might be wondering why the GMD-1 only has 

white class lights. Green class lights mean a second section is following. Red class lights 

mean the engine is pushing a passenger train. While we would love to see the GMD-1 

hauling the Super Continental during the Expo 67 rush or pushing GO trains in com-

muter service, these events are not entirely likely. So we just put in the white class lights. 

When you press F10, all the class lights come on. 

F11 Brake

F11 works just like the brakes on a real engine. Press F11 and you put on the brakes. 

Turn off F11 and the brakes come off so you start moving again.

F12 Switching Mode

If you press F12, the headlight and rear light will both be on dim. This is appropriate 

for switching operations. On the real GMD-1, it actually is not possible to have both 

the headlight and rear light on at full strength. Press F12 again to turn off the switching 

mode lighting.

F18 Brake Set/Release 

This function turns off the brake release and brake set sounds when you start or stop mov-

ing, respectively. It has no effect on the function of the engine — it just affects the sounds.

F19 air Release

This makes an air release sound. Ahhhhh....

F20 Sarco after Shutdown

On real engines you can hear the Sarco Valve after the engine shuts down. Some people 

like to hear this on the model, but Jason finds it annoying. So the default for this is “off.” 

If you want to hear the Sarco Valve spit for a minute after shutdown, make sure F20 is 

pressed.

HORNS

There are numerous extra horn recordings included with your GMD-1, and you can 

change them around by changing the value of CV 48. Though why you’d want to 

change the horn from the GORGEOUS one that we recorded and is included from the 

factory is beyond us.
