I love that sound!

[@Paul070]

Now isolation switch in run, gen field off, reverser in forward, throttle to notch 8 light a cigarette and flip gen field on!!! 😅 Oh and make sure your tray table is stored and your seatbelt is secured.

[@PowerTrain611]

Generator Field needs to be ON to provide power to the traction motors
