@gunrunnerjohn posted:Actually, when you power up a DCS locomotive and it doesn't see a watchdog signal (which only happens when you first power the TIU channel), it comes up in conventional mode. Sound, Lights, smoke, the whole shooting match. That's why all the conversations about the watchdog generator.
Can’t most of that be remedied by just turning the smoke and volume pots to the zero position? Once you “start up” the volume and smoke are controlled by the remote.
