Starting to Roll
Advanced the transformer throttle. The locomotive's light will come on
but the engine will not move until you turn the throttle back OFF and
then ON again. The engine should now proceed in the forward
direction. At this point, advancing the throttle further will allow the
engine to pick up speed, reducing the throttle will slow the engine
down. Turning the throttle OFF and then back ON will park the engine
into neutral. Cycling the throttle OFF and then back ON again one
more time will allow the locomotive to enter reverse.
An alternative method to using the throttle to enter the next reverse
unit phase is to press the direction button. When depressed, the
transformer interrupts all power to the track as long as the button is
depressed. Releasing the button reapplies power to the track at
whatever voltage level the transformer throttle is set at.
Press the horn button, the horn should sound.
Note: Pressing the bell button will have no affect on your engine because your locomotive
is not equipped with a bell. Only locomotives equipped with full digital sound systems
(which feature engine sounds, horns, bells, air-release sound effects, squeaking brakes and
many other locomotive related sound effects) can utilize the bell button.

from cycling through the
reverse unit phases and is
useful for operators
