and release the whistle button. Interrupt the transformer throttle to enter the

next directional state (either forward or reverse). (Note: the FYS will only

play in the first Neutral after it is armed. You can not interrupt the power

twice to enter another direction and still have the FYS active.) You can

now trigger the sounds to begin playing when you next enter Neutral.

TRIGGERING FREIGHT YARD SOUNDS

Once the FYS feature has been activated, it will be played the next time

the engine enters neutral. At this point, Proto-Sound® will take over

control of your engine, disabling the bell and whistle button. In addition,

Proto-Sound® reconfigures the way the reverse unit functions during the

operation of the FYS feature. This forces the engine to leave your Freight

Yard in the same direction as it arrived. The following operator controlled

“Events” control the FYS’s actions and sounds. (Note: The direction states

shown assume the FYS is entered from forward. If entering the Freight

Yard in reverse, the direction states shown will be reversed.)

Event 1: Interrupt the transformer throttle to cycle the engine from forward

into neutral. If the throttle was at 14 volts or higher, the squeaking brakes

sound will play. Once the engine is stopped, the throttle must be turned on

to keep it in the neutral state. Note: Failure to turn the throttle back on

within 3 seconds of leaving forward will disable FYS and shutdown

Proto-Sound®. The next time power is turned on, the engine will be in

the RESET position. See page 23 for additional

information on RESET. If the bell

was not turned off after arming FYS, it

is now turned off automatically. After

entering neutral, Proto-Sound will

immediately play a horn blast or an air

release sound, followed approximately

2 seconds later by a man whistling and

a freight car door sliding open. At this point, various freight yard sounds

can be heard, including loading and unloading operations, engine sounds,

yardman “slang,” and additional freight car door sounds.

Event 2: Interrupt the transformer throttle again to cycle the engine from

neutral into reverse. In order to have the engine leave the yard in the same

direction it entered Proto-Sound® disables the motors in this reverse state to

prevent the engine from running backwards. FYS confirms reverse is
