RailKing Galloping Goose™ Operating Manual
For example, if you want to select Feature 2, you put the Galloping
Goose™ in RESET, and move the throttle up and down from full throttle to
low two times. After the second advance, you will hear two “clinks"
indicating that the computer is now in Feature 2. Advance the throttle again
and you will hear three “clinks" for Feature 3. Advance it two more times
and you will hear a “clank" indicating that you are now in Feature 5.
Advance the throttle two more times and you will hear a “clank" and two
“clinks" indicating Feature 7. ((5 throttle advancements = 1 clank) + (2
throttle advancements = 2 clinks)). “Clank + “Clink" + “Clink" = Feature
7. You can advance the throttle as quickly as you like (though you may not
hear the air-release sounds) and the computer will still remember the
number of times the throttle is advanced by playing back the number of
“Clinks" and “Clanks" to confirm the feature you’ve selected.
SETTING THE ENGINE VOLUME
Of all the sounds that
come with each
ProtoSound-equipped
locomotive, the one
most often turned down
is that of the engine
volume because it is the
one sound normally
heard whenever the engine is running and is what usually can become
tiresome to the ear over prolonged running sessions. The volume
adjustment is controlled through RESET Feature 6.
To access the feature, advance the transformer throttle to put the engine in
RESET. Move the throttle up and down, as described on page 13, 6 times.
After you hear the “clank” and “clink” indicating that you are in Feature 6,
press the whistle button to select the engine volume you desire. Pushing the
whistle button once will give you full volume, which is the factory setting.
Pushing the whistle button a second time will give you 50% volume,
pushing it a third time will give you 25% volume and pushing it a fourth
time will give you no sound. The microprocessor will immediately play the
sound level each time the whistle button is pushed so that you can decide if
it is acceptable. You can recycle through the four choices by simply
continuing to push the whistle button.
Once you have decided on the appropriate volume level, turn the
transformer throttle off and on again or press the transformer direction
switch to lock in your selection. The volume adjustment will remain set at
