Start up sequence for ac6000

Press ENG and the locomotive #.  then press ENG again and the startup and shutdown icons will appear on the bottom line of keys.

I notice there is a start looking button at the left corner of that screen. When I press is all it does is start the engine sound like it was running. It doesn't do the crew talk or anything.  Is that normal?  It doesn't say starting up either

That's how it starts up.  If you want crew talk, press the tower button of the crew talk button.  See the illustration below that was taken from the Legacy User's Guide, which is recommend reading.  You can also vary the tower and crew conversations for Legacy locomotives by using the AUX1 key before pressing one of the crew talk buttons.

 

I've noticed the review Eric segeal does he does some type of start up sequence   It says " starting up stand by for track orders the. The engine sound comes on

I think if you hold the start up button down for a little bit you will get talking.  I think my Legacy Engines get dialog if I hold the start up button down for a little bit. If you don't want the dialog just hit the button for a second.

That's right--press and hold of the startup key will play a conversation between dispatcher and engineer. When they're done, the prime mover sounds will come on. Also note that moving the engine, blowing the horn, or other operation during the conversation will start the prime mover sounds early.

Ok thanks I'll try that    Also I noticed it says cab 1.  Is it suppose to be that or on cab 2?  The start up feature is underneath all the numbers shown in the display
