The whistle will blow after the 3rd AUX1 and again after 2. These whistles are
to verify the locomotive took the commands you sent.
32 Speed step mode, cruise off
This mode is used to provide lashup compatibility with non cruise equipped
locomotives. For example, command equipped locomotives without cruise control
such as AC motored locomotives or pre-cruise control command engines. By turning
cruise off the locomotive will NOT maintain a constant speed on tight curves, grades,
etc. To access the cruise off mode you can use the following sequence on the Cab-1®
remote.

Changing the Chuff Rate of your locomotive
Another cool feature of EOB is that you can change the exhaust chuff sound
on your locomotive. Real locomotives have a total of four exhaust chuffs per revolution
of the drivers. EOB allows you to change this rate while the locomotive is at idle or on
the fly. Your locomotive is shipped from the factory with 4 chuffs per revolution. If this is
too many chuffs per revolution you can change it by simply pressing the following
sequence on the Cab-1® remote.
ENG + ID AUX1 + AUX1 + 5
The locomotive will echo the number of chuffs per revolution in the whistle. For
instance, one whistle equals one chuff per revolution, two whistles equals two chuffs
and four whistles equals four chuffs pre revolution. The cycle is endless, if you do not
like the chuff rate simply press the sequence above to change the rate of chuff until you
achieve the affect you like.
Lashing up EOB equipped locomotives
EOB or Engineer On Board was designed to operate in a lashup. The
technology inside EOB is such that it automatically adapts to the speed of whatever
locomotive it is coupled to. The most important thing to remember is that an EOB
equipped locomotive must be set in the same speed step mode as whatever
locomotive you are coupling it to. For instance, if you plan to lashup an EOB
