time. To reset all the RESET features back to their original factory settings,
enter RESET and go to Feature 18. (See the section entitled Using RESET
To Program ProtoSounds® on page 13). Once in Feature 18, press the
transformer whistle button and wait for ProtoSounds® to sound a garbled
bell sound. Interrupt the throttle again to lock in the setting.
REVERSE UNIT LOCK-OUT OPERATION
ProtoSounds® unique design eliminates the need for a lock-out switch on
the locomotive by allowing the customer to lock the engine into any
directional state (forward, neutral or reverse) from the transformer. This
will allow users to run the Galloping Goose™ on layouts equipped with
block signals or stop stations which would normally cycle the engine back
into neutral. The feature must be first turned on by accessing RESET
Feature 40 (See section entitled Using RESET To Program ProtoSounds®
on page 13).
LOCKING THE GALLOPING GOOSE™ INTO
FORWARD OR REVERSE
To lock the Galloping Goose™ into Forward or Reverse, use the
transformer throttle to enter Forward or Reverse (whichever state you want
to lock the engine into) and while the Galloping Goose™ is moving press
and hold the whistle button. WHILE THE HORN IS BLOWING TURN
THE THROTTLE OFF AND THEN LET GO OF THE WHISTLE
BUTTON. After about two seconds, you will hear a short horn blast.
QUICKLY TURN THE THROTTLE BACK ON AGAIN. Your Galloping
Goose™ is now locked into Forward or Reverse and it will remain so until
you unlock the engine, even if you wait a year to run your engine again.
UNLOCKING THE GALLOPING GOOSE™
Unlocking the engine is a similar procedure. WHILE THE ENGINE IS
MOVING, PRESS AND HOLD THE WHISTLE BUTTON. WHILE THE
HORN IS BLOWING, TURN THE THROTTLE OFF AND THEN LET
GO OF THE WHISTLE BUTTON. After three seconds without power you
will hear one chime of the RESET bell. TURN ON THE POWER AGAIN.
Your engine is now in RESET and will operate normally once you interrupt
power and enter the forward direction.
