'DRIVELOCK' Notes:
On F8 we have 'DRIVELOCK' this will lock at any point the vehicles speed and divorce it from the engine sounds.
With F8 ON, you will be able to 'drive' the sound using the throttle to Coast, Notch Up, Notch Down, without affecting the vehicles speed.
When F8 is released the vehicles speed will rise or fall back in line with the throttle settings.
F8 can be turned on and off repeatedly to (For Example) simulate a vehicle getting to grips with a heavy train.
With shunting locomotives F8 is used impressively to make the locomotive 'Work Hard' on moving heavy trains.
'AUTOFADE' Notes:
This is designed for older style Locomotives & Multiple Units that use Bulbs in the Marker & Cab lights, so on turning on (Fade in) or turning off (Fadeout)
as per the real train! Modern locomotives use LED Lighting with an instant On/Off.
If your model has cab lighting fitted as standard, the 'AUTOFADE' if using F19 (Aux1) of if enabled F20 (Aux 2) will as the vehicle moves off(Turn Off) or when coming to a halt (Turn On) the factory fitted light, just listen to the clicking light switch operated by your models driver.
