Start up sound on my Bachmann

[clayton4115]

Hello All

 

I am new into the world of sound dcc and my first loco is a Bachmann N GAUGE 62351 DIESEL. However as soon power is applied the sound sequence of the loco is three long blasts on the horn and the diesel engine starts up. Is there anyway to stop the horn blasts as my wife finds the horn blasts irritating.

 

The loco is equipped with a economi decoder.

 

thanks

Clayton

When I say power is applied I mean mains power not throttle power.

Is this not the engine room warning horn prior to the engine starting, common on all large emd fitted loco's ?.

I think you'll find it's so and therefore you won't be able to stop it as it's part of the engine start sequence.

 

To skip the sequence you could apply notch 1, then the switch sound on.
