Example 2: Passenger Car
The sounds made by a passenger car include the coupler, clickety‑clack,
flange squeal, wheel noise, brake sounds, and the generator effect can be
either enabled or disabled depending upon the model. Enter a value of 246
into CV 117 to enable these sound effects, including the generator effect.
Otherwise, enter a value of 244 into CV 117 to disable the generator sound
effect.
Note: The generator is used on passenger cars that are not hooked into the
locomotive’s head‑end power (HEP) to supply electricity for air conditioning,
lighting, and appliances.
Example 3: Freight Car
Freight car sounds consist of the coupler, clickety‑clack, flange squeal, wheel
noise, and brake sounds. Enter a value of 244 into CV 117 to enable these
sound effects. Since these cars are heavily used, you may also want to add
the flat spot effect by entering a total value of 245.
Example 4: Mechanical Refrigerator Car
The sounds you hear from a mechanical refrigerator car, or reefer, are the
same as a freight car plus the generator. Enter a value of 246 into CV 117 to
enable these sound effects.
Example 5: Caboose
The sounds from a caboose include the coupler, air whistle, clickety‑clack,
flange squeal, wheel noise, and brake sounds. Enter a value of 252 into
CV 117 to enable these sound effects. The bell function key (F1 by default)
should be off and the airhorn/whistle function key (F2 by default) should be
on to play the warning whistle equipped on a caboose.
