Fellas,
I have just acquired a Proto 2000 GP7 with DCC and sound on board. Fabulous looking unit and GREAT sound. The problem I have is how do I shut down, to quiet mode, the loco when I am done operating for a bit? With my Digitrax DCC I can easily stop running it but with the sound unit, the diesel keeps on doing its idle sound thing. What I have done is press the 'select' and then the 'mode' button to 'release' the unit from my throttle but the loco still has active sound. By then shutting down all power to the track and then refiring up power the loco then stays quiet. There must be a better way to quiet a loco then to down power for a moment!! What is the preferred procedure?
Thanks
Eric
