Equipped with ESU "FULL THROTTLE" features! MUST use LokProgrammer Version 4.4.21 or newer
V2 - This is our second version of this popular prime mover!
GE Evolution 12cyl "GEVO" Locomotives have a 4 stoke diesel engine and have been designed to be more efficient and more emission friendly than previous models. Evolution Series locomotives are equipped with either AC or DC traction motors, depending on the customer's preference, though admittedly there is little sound difference if any between the two.
All early GEVOs were delivered with the Nathan Airchime K5HL air horn. Later GEVOs started to recieve a slightly different K5HLL horn. Both are inlcuded with the file. Most if not all have been delivered with a Graham-White 373 E-Bell. This E-Bell is tied to the horn circuit in the locomotive and will play automatically when the horn is played. The ESU version also has this new feature. The bell can be activated by either pressing F1 or by pressing the horn using F2. The "Auto-Bell" can be turned off by removing the the Auto-Bell sound slot from F2. (CV31 = 16, CV32 = 2, CV319 = 0)
Another feature of the prototype is "Smart Start". For the sake of both emissions and fuel savings all GEVOs have been built with an auto shutdown/auto start feature. After the loco has been idle for a period time, the engine will shut down on its own. If the prime mover cools to a certain temperature the loco will automatically start again to keep from freezing. Our ESU version is also equipped with this "Smart Start" feature. If enabled, after idling for about 5 minutes, the engine will shut down and without doing anything to the throttle it will start again on its own depending on options set in CV48. If at any time during this shutdown mode you would like to run your loco, just turn the throttle slightly and the engine will go through it's start up cycle and then allow you to move it. The feature can also be turned off if it is deemed undesirable. By default this feature is off.
Though all GEVOs were delivered with Nathan K5HL or K5HLL air horns we've also included a few extra horns in case you wish to use something different. Due to the vast numbers of sounds included in the file we were not able to include our normal 16 horns, but we have included multiple for your choosing. These are selectable by using CV48.
