Tinplate Traditions 3243R Electric Engine

Speed Control:

M.T.H. engines equipped with Proto-Sound 2.0 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.

To turn speed control on and off,

put the engine in neutral, then press the

transformer’s Whistle button one time then immediately press the Bell button

two times. Two horn blasts will indicate that the engine has made the change.

Repeat the 1 whistle, 2 bells code to return it to the other state.

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.

Note: When speed control is turned off, the Proto-Sound 2.0 system will limit

the volume in order to operate more smoothly at lower voltages. Full volume

is restored upon reactivating speed control.

Lock 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 press the Horn

button once followed immediately by three presses of the Bell button.

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.
