RailKing SW 8-9 Operating Manual
Note: Failure to turn the throttle back on within 3 seconds of leaving the Forward phase
will disable FYS and shutdown ProtoSounds®. The next time you turn power back on your
engine will be in the RESET position. See page 4 for more
information on RESET.
B. After entering Neutral, ProtoSounds® will
immediately play an air release sound followed
approximately 2 seconds later by a Cab Chatter
Arrival Message. The arrival message
announces what yard the engine has arrived in
(the yard is described as either Yard A or Yard
B, alternating each time FYS is enabled during
the current operating session. If the engine is turned off for more than three
seconds, ProtoSounds® will automatically return to the Yard A message the
next time FYS is enabled). Immediately following the arrival message, the
sound of freight car doors can be heard opening, followed by the sounds for
forklift engines. At this point various freight yard sounds can be heard
including forklift operation, engine sounds, reverse warning horn beeps, and
additional freight car door sounds.
Event 3: (Reverse) The operator now interrupts the transformer throttle
again to enter the next reverse unit phase;
reverse. In an effort to enhance realism,
FYS has disabled the reverse phase so that
it doesn’t power the motors causing the
engine to move backward. Upon entering
reverse, FYS confirms to the operator that
it has entered the reverse phase by
immediately playing a highlight sound
best described as a rumbling sound. You
may have to go through the entire FYS
sequence several times before you can clearly identify this sound. After the
rumbling highlight is played, the freight yard sounds heard in Event 2
continue to play randomly.
Event 4: (Neutral Before Forward) The
operator now interrupts the transformer
throttle again to enter the next reverse unit
phase, neutral before forward. FYS
confirms to the operator that it has entered
the neutral before forward phase by
emitting two quick air release sounds. This
