More on the Proto-Sound® system
To operate Proto-Sound®, just put your engine on the track - right out of
the box. As soon as you power up your transformer, you will hear the authentic
sounds of your diesel engine awaken as it waits your command to start moving.
Your transformers throttle and its whistle button activate all the Proto-Sound®
features listed above. There is no need to purchase a whole new control system
with dozens of buttons and keystrokes to memorize. Proto-Sound® works with
almost any AC transformer.
Your Proto-Sound® locomotive contains high quality digital sounds you have
to hear to believe! Each diesel engine comes equipped with 8-levels of diesel sounds, authentic horn and bell sounds, squeaking
brakes, cab chatter and air compressor pump and let-off sounds. Even while sitting still, a Proto-Sound® equipped engine sounds like it
is alive and breathing - just like the real thing. Best of all, these sounds are
controlled by the Proto-Sound® micro-processor, so they are randomly activated
to prevent constant repetition and give Proto-Sound® owners a true-to-life
sound experience.
Every Proto-Sound® equipped engine also features the exclusive
Proto-Effects™, true-to-life sound and train control effects that make model
railroading a unique and fun experience. Proto-Effects™ sounds include
squeaking brakes that, when activated, will pierce your ears as you throttle
down the engine to stop or enter a turn. Imagine the fun of entering a station
or switch yard, or even a curve after highballing down a straightaway and
hearing the sound of your engine's brakes as you slow down. But there's even
more! With Proto-Effects™ you also get special sounds for your freight engine that you won't find anywhere else. When the Proto-Effects™ are
activated, your freight line diesel engine will play special freight station
sounds once the engine comes to a halt.
All of the Proto-Effects™ and features, like the Proto-Sound® digital
sounds themselves, are controlled through the Proto-Sound® microprocessor. This
microprocessor gives the operator the ability to control an array of features
remotely from any compatible transformer. The features include remote volume
adjustment and remote engine lock-out control as well as perhaps the most
exciting of all the Proto-Sound® features: remote control over your engine's
coupler from anywhere on the layout. No additional wiring, uncoupling track
sections or modifications to your layout are required. Each feature can be
activated by simply using the transformer's whistle controller.
This engine has been track tested to make sure that it is in proper operating
condition. It has barely been run and is new except for very faint railmarks on
the wheels & pickup rollers.
