Lionel 255 - Manual Volume Control

Horn/Whistle - To sound the whistle, firmly press the Horn/Whistle button.
The whistle will sound for as long as you continue to depress the button. It will
stop when you release the button.

cycle neutral-forward-neutral-reverse with each press and release of the direction
button. The engine is programmed to restart in neutral each time the track
voltage is turned off for 25 seconds or more.

Proto-Sound 3.0 features are activated by sequences of Bell and Horn button
pushes described below. Please read the full descriptions of each feature before
using it. To use these buttons to activate features rather than to blow the horn or
ring the bell, you should tap the buttons very quickly with a ½-second pause between
button presses. You may need to practice your timing to make this work smoothly.
Manual Volume Control
To adjust the volume of all sounds made by this engine, turn the manual volume
control (fig. 7) clockwise to increase the volume and counterclockwise to reduce
the volume. Turning the manual volume control completely counterclockwise
will turn of all of the engine sounds and announcements.
