Lionel Legacy NKP 765 issues

Earl,

I'm sure at some point the Legacy experts will weigh in. For the builder's plates a small dab of "Krazy Glue" should do the trick. As for the Legacy issue, have you tried the reset procedure in the manual?

I suspect that you have inadvertently turned down the background sounds to the point where only the whistle and bell and a few other sounds can be heard. When the engine is running:

blow the horn just to make sure your remote is talking to the locomotive and then:

press AUX1, then the 1 key/volume up button
press AUX1, then the 1 key/volume up button
press AUX1, then the 1 key/volume up button
press AUX1, then the 1 key/volume up button... etc. There are a total of 8 steps for the background sound volume.

Give that a try and let us know what happens.

Cheers,
Rudy

Hello friends,

 

The larger issue is that without notice the steam sounds have disappeared. The bell and whistle are fine and the smoke chuffs properly but without sound.  I surmise that the problem has something to do with the infrared signal to the tender.

Peace.

Press AUX 1 and then Volume UP.  This will raise the background sounds.  Page 14 in you manual explains raising over all volume (just volume up and down) vs background (AUX1 +volume up and down)

Well! No one ' fesed-up, but the Aux1 +l (vol up) eight times did the trick. I wonder if the stroke of a single key or a  quick short could have caused the background sounds to go silent. This occurred at the club layout while I was on the other side of the room but seemed to have happened immediately after someone put the engine on the track.  I know that it was just fine when I removed it from the track the day before...Oh Well! It works fine now. There are no less than ten to twelve other engines under power on the layout at any given time. Maybe my engine number was accidently hit and Aux 1 +9  shut me down but that seems unlikely. Thanks everyone. I'll try the Krazy Glue on the builders plate next.

I love The Forum.

Glad to hear it was an easy fix.....now run the 765....loud and proud!

Rudy is correct on his post.  Many people do not realize with a Legacy engine two methods exist to raise and lower sounds.    If you had an IR issue you would not be able to activate any sounds.  That IR system Lionel uses is a good one.

there are 2, 765 runs.

what is the 6 dash number?

Thanks Marty. I just noticed in my earlier response I mentioned Aux1+9. I meant  +4, causing the volume to lower.  I don't have Legacy on my little home layout so the manual is up at the club layout where I run my only two legacy engines and as yet I haven't taken the time to read all of it.  I am overwhelmed by everyone's help and support on this forum.

The OP makes mention of the 765s warranty still being in place and the model coming out last fall.....so it's Round Two of the Legacy 765: 11454.
