Bachmann Alco FA2 Diesel Locomotive with Sound Value SoundTraxx

[nctrains]

I just purchased this awesome locomotive. It has immediately become my favorite engine. The engine is DCC sound-equipped with Sound Value SoundTraxx® diesel sound package with prototypical engine exhaust, air horn, short horn, and bell. I have the Bachmann digital command dcc controller. I cannot figure out how to trigger the horns and the bell.  I know I must be doing something wrong or missing a step. Does it have to be programmed?

i can't say what the controls are for these on ez command, but on my digitrax system, 1 controls the bell, 2 is for short horn blast, and 3 is for long horn blast. try these on your system and see if they work.

Dear NCT,
That's exactly right.
Have fun!

To add to jward, don't forget to hit the function key first.
When it starts blinking press the 1,2,or 3 and it should work.
You probably already knew this but it does not hurt to check.

That's what I was thought. I did the same thing the first time out.
