PASSENGER ANNOUNCEMENTS (PFA)

ProtoSounds is now equipped with operator controlled passenger station

announcements, hereby known as PFA. This easy to use feature plays

digitally reproduced passenger station sounds whenever your engine stops

at a train station on your layout. No additional wires or modifications are

needed on your layout to enjoy these amazing sound effects. The sounds

themselves are randomly generated and randomly “shuffled” on the

ProtoSounds software chip. This gives the system the ability to produce

different sounds in a different order each time the PFA feature is enabled.

These different sounds are heard each time you cycle the transformer

throttle from on to off in the same manner that you would cycle the throttle

to enter the various states of forward, neutral and reverse. The entire PFA

sequence is designed to simulate the arrival, disembarking, embarking, and

departure of a train entering and leaving a train station. The sounds include

public address arrival and departure messages, passenger disembarking and

embarking sounds, conductor voices and general train station ambient

sounds. Each is described in more detail in the following sections.

ACTIVATING PASSENGER SOUNDS

Your ProtoSounds equipped engine features an operator controlled

passenger station sound set. Once activated, this easy to use feature plays

digitally reproduced sounds of a passenger station whenever you stop your

engine in the neutral position at a train station on your layout.

ARMING THE PASSENGER SOUNDS FEATURE

Before the passenger station sounds can be heard, ProtoSounds must

activate the feature so that the next time the engine enters the neutral

position, the sounds can play, The feature can be activated one of two ways.

Option 1: If you are using a separate bell button controller to ring your

bell (like the Lionel Railsounds No. 5906 bell activation button) you can

activate the feature by

pressing and holding

the bell button for three

seconds or longer (it

doesn’t matter if you

are in forward, neutral

or reverse). You will

Put Engine In Neutral,

Forward or Reverse
