20-2298-1 PS2 M10000 Sounds

Some sounds, such as Coupler Slack, only work when the engine starts to move.

Was it used?  I had that set and that would have stood out to me.

Thanks guys. 

Marty, yes it was a used set. It's hardly had any run time looking at its condition and the odometer etc.

All the sounds work as normal apart from engine sounds 1-5 soft keys. These are normally talking announcements on the other 2 PS2 engines I own. I just wondered as it was a early PS2 engine from 2001 if all the features were implemented?

The PFA sequence runs fine and you get all the announcements but I can't appear to trigger them individually via the soft keys. 

It's not a major issue (at the price I paid) as everything else works and it runs very nicely. Just a bit weird.

Here's a update.

Downloaded a PS2 5V GP9 file to the M10000 and the engine sound soft keys 1-5 work correctly.

Downloaded the RK M10000 PS2 5V file and engine sound soft keys 1-5 do not work. Downloaded the correct premier M10000 PS2 5V file and again the engine sound soft keys 1-5 do not work.

From this experiment I deduce that the PS2 electronics in the engine are fine and the M10000 sound file does  not implement engine sounds 1-5. 

Anyone come across this before?

What are the 1-5 softkeys for? I know that set has no coupler slack sound. (It shouldn't have) I know some early sound files have blank keys. I don't have my set out now, but if no one has an answer I will dig it out tomorrow. I don't think there is any thing wrong with your sound file.

Hi Chuck,  Many thanks for the reply.

The Soft keys for Engine Sounds normally play crew dialog or station announcements, crossing horn sounds etc.  

I found it odd that the keys SO1 thru SO5 had no effects assigned to them as every other PS2 and PS3 engine we have plays some sort of sound on SO1 thru SO5

OK Nick, I played with my RK M10000 set and here is what I found. There IS a coupler slack sound (SCS). I doubt a real articulated train set would have this sound. Engine sounds SO1 through 5 are blank.  These can be deleted if you like. 6 through 10 do have sounds. The set does have all idle sounds (SI). On the 'more' drop down menu forward and reverse horn sounds are repeated twice. On my remote this is 4 and 5, and also 9 and 10.

Hope this confirms what you have. 

Hi Chuck, Yes that's exactly the same as I have here. 

Thank you very much for that. 

Cheers
