Legacy/vision railsounds special conversation

Bump

without a product number I am just guessing.

Activating the Tower Icon (7 if your using a Cab 1) while the locomotive is in motion enables an arrival conversation for 30 seconds. If the train stops within this time, pressing the Radio Icon (2 for the Cab 1) will play this special conversation.

does this not work on the cab 2 and do all legacy engines have this feature.

I'm not sure but I would check the manual for your engine.

The features of Legacy locomotives vary depending on when they were released.  I'm fairly sure that not all of them will have that feature.

I can not get any of my legacy engines to play this arrival conversation. I have tried everything I can think of to get it working...nothing happens...

Has anyone got this to work ?

Steve's note is correct.

To trigger "clear inbound" scene, while in motion, hit Tower Icon aka <7> key. This will trigger dispatcher dialog saying clear inbound.

Now, within 30 seconds, come to a complete stop and hit the engineer icon aka <2> key. This will play the "have arrived" scene.

On the CC2, one example of the "have arrived" scene is"

"Pennsy 8183 here. Stopped in the clear. over."

"Welcome home 8183. Standby and set your brakes. Out."

The "is arriving/have arrived" scenes pre-dates LEGACY, you can also find it on most RS5.0 locomotives. On these older engines, there was an additional sequence of key presses that produced a similar result, but operation was streamlined for LEGACY and has been unchanged since that time.

If anyone's still trying to get this to work, post again and jot down the actual words spoken by the characters (as well as the engine name and number) and I'll try to help.

I tried it on a Legacy K-4, and indeed it did function as described.

Well I can not get a 30 second arrival conversation.

I get something like you described above, but that is only about 7-10 seconds...

I amusing the legacy 990 handheld remote..I tried it on 2 legacy engines ?

am I missing something ????

thanks.

The arrival conversation isn't 30 seconds long, it has to be triggered within the 30 seconds!

For information all my American Flyer Legacy engines offer the arrival conversation. This includes the Big Boy, Challenger, Y3 and U33C. The older AF TMCC Mikado's do not play an arrival sequence. 

This thread prompted me to create a short video showing dialog that makes up a complete journey from start to finish. You can see it here:

We here in Lionel Engineering plan to make more of these as time permits, feel free to suggest topics you'd like to see covered!

Cheers,

on a passenger engine it would be neat to hear a type of arrival such as dcs has with the pfA announcement

You can buy the parts to do a Station Sounds Dining Car, I posted about one conversion I did here: Roll Your Own Station Sounds Diner.  That gives you what you want, presumably you'd be pulling passenger cars when you had these announcements.
