Just got my new legacy 4-6-2 pacific. UP greyhound, engine has the two color class lights, wow this is a big brute works on my ross O-42 curves nicely though. Have to watch what cars to pull, it will work nicely on my O-54 loop. The instruction book on page 15 mentions "EFX trim and EFX Bar graph, but I dont see those buttons on the cab II, any help there please?

The UP locomotive is great looking. EFX is inside the speed bar menus press that. If its still not there then what software is on your Cab-2? I believe the EFX graph came in V1.3
Zach is correct. The labor up and down is under the RR Speeds menu labeled EFX with an up or down arrow. The small labor graph opposite the buttons show how much labor is applied.

thanks
Lovely, but I have a question: there are no ropes from the bell and whistle to the cab. The prototype would have had them visible, wouldn’t it? Or were they hidden inside somehow.
I ask because I I’ve noticed Lionel includes that detail on some locos —eg, Santa Fe 4-8-4s, 2-8-8-2s — but not others — VL 2-10-10-2.
The BEST part of these new oil-fired Pacifics is that they forgot to remove the variable ashpan glow, and they all have it! While not prototypical of an oil burner, it looks a lot better than nothing! I still think they should create a white/yellow flickering/flashing led for under the cab for oil fired engines. Wouldn't be hard to do. But I'll take the red glow on this one for now.

I think were spilliting hairs no? I see some flickering and some glowing at 1:00 on 3985: ( not my video)

If your looking for labored sounds. You can also slide the train brake down a bit, below half. If you look on the screen the brake "level" will be indicated.
If you throttle past the brake level, the labor will increase but the train speed will not. Pegging the throttle all the way yields a very dramatic chuff. Throttling down below the brake level will lessen the labor.
Sliding the train brake down further will also limit the trains speed even slower.
For this reason, I prefer to call the "train brake" more of a "train load " slider because it makes the train mimic pulling a heavy load.
