What the heck? I was dumbfounded when I heard how I could control the "clanging" of the ringing bell on my Legacy Steamers. I always thought: "You push the Bell control up and the bell rings." That's always worked for me Hoss. But I was told by a very educated operator that I could ring the bell HARD as heck or very SOFT with variation in between!! DANG! Now I'm a Clangin' fool! Yer right. I'm addicted to the dang bell! That's all I do now.
You can be like me. Addicted to the bell. Just remember that the bell rings when you release, not when you push the control on the Cab.
To learn how this works, look at the window below ENG or TR when you push the control very slowly up. First you see a little bell on the left. PUT ON YER GLASSES. It's in the little box where the number was!.... Then you see a rising graph that shows different levels the higher you push yer control. When you release at the different levels you really hear a big difference! Dang! Now I've always been told I have great hearing for a 60 year old ex destroyer captain, but you should be able to hear this. DANG it's fun in yer spare time. Yer gonna like it I hope. If not, disregard this message.
