M.T.H. engines equipped with Proto-Sound 3.0 have speed control capabilities that

allow the engine to maintain a constant speed up and down grades and around

curves, much like an automobile cruise control. You can add or drop cars on the

run, and the engine will maintain the speed you set.

While the engine is programmed to start with the speed control feature activated,

you can opt to turn it off. This means the engine's speed will fall as it labors up a

hill and increase as it travels downward. It is also affected by the addition or

releasing of cars while on the run. Because the engine will run more slowly at a

given throttle voltage when speed control is on than when it is off, you should

adjust the throttle to a lower power level for operation with speed control off to

avoid high-speed derailments. When speed control is off, the volume will drop to

allow for better low voltage operation.

To turn speed control on and off, put the engine in neutral, then quickly tap the

transformer's Horn button one time then quickly tap the Bell button two times,

allowing approximately ½ second to lapse between each quick button press. Two

horn blasts will indicate that the engine has made the change. Repeat the 1 horn, 2

bells code to return it to the other condition. You will want to do this during the

initial neutral upon start-up if you ever couple this engine to another engine that is

not equipped with speed control to avoid damaging the motors in either engine.

Each time you shut down the engine completely, it will automatically turn speed

control on.

Locking Locomotive Into A Direction

You can lock your engine into a direction (forward, neutral, or reverse) so that it

will not change directions. To do this, put the engine into the direction you want

(or into neutral to lock it into neutral), run it at a very slow crawl (as slowly as it

will move without halting), and quickly but firmly tap the Horn button once

followed by three quick taps of the Bell button, allowing approximately ½ second

to lapse between each quick button press. Two horn blasts will indicate that the

engine has made the change.

The engine will not change direction (including going into neutral) until you repeat

the 1 horn, 3 bells code to return the engine to its normal condition, even if the

engine is kept without power for extended periods of time.
