EM17 ENGINEMAN CLASS 17 SOUND FILE

EM17 Clayton Class 17 instructions

The growl of the Clayton has been well captured here. A very characteristic sound chip that will accompany your

model Class 17 beautifully. You'll experience many different levels of authentic engine sounds at relevant speeds and

you'll be able to coast the loco by sharply knocking the controller back a few speed steps. To regain power, simply do

the opposite by sharply moving the control a few speed steps. We have to say, there is a very nice turbo whine when

you decelerate to coast at the higher engine revs.

A cold start is also avaible on this project, simply press F10 before turning on your engines F1 to hear this cold start

opton.

A few other nice features have been incorporated with this sound project.

Horns

On the sole surviving Clayton, the horns sound slightly different each end. Well, guess what, the very same horns

have been captured so you will get different horns going forward than you would going in reverse.

Brake rub and brake release

Upon deceleration, you will notice a slight rumbling noise. This is the brakes rubbing to slow the loco down. Once the

locomotive has reached constant speed, you will hear the brake hiss as the brakes are released.

Long engine spool ups

Due to the nature of the Clayton, the engines don't produce "instant thrash" such as a Class 37 but slowly spool up

and down. When your loco is coasting, you'll notice your model won't start to accelerate instantly while the engine

starts to spool up.

Please note, increasing the decoder volume may distort the sound due to Clipping.

Should a decoder reset be required, please program CV8 to 8. This will restore the decoder to the settings that is was

shipped with.

For other CV values, settings, etc., please see the ESU booklet supplied with the decoder and also available online at
