cannot find correct functions list for Hogwarts Class 4900 Hall R 3803TTS in e link list

[Caritas]

My previous e link died and I am successfully getting my trains onto the track with a new e link.  I use a Windows  11 laptop. However although I  can get the Hogwarts Castle loco running on the track , having spent hours searching for the correct function list I cannot find a compatible one that gives the correct functions . Any help for a 74 yr old grandma !! Many thanks

No list because there are no functions connected to anything, not even the front headlamp. It is motor control only I am afraid.

If it is TTS as indicated then there are indeed a full set of sound functions.

The generic Hall class listing is here -

Rob, that link provides only a place marker.

Odd that it works on my iPad and shows in Safari as the full pdf.

I have changed it to a simple link, but you can try this link to the fetching page instead - https://support.hornby.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360016119800-Hall-43xx-Steam-Loco-TTS-Sound-Manual

Generally most of the steam ones seem the same but I must admit I don't have a hall so I don't have any practical experience.

[dBerriff]

Sorry. Did not understand TTS connection.

Shame Hornby can't get even their loco class designations right - the Halls are 49xx, not 43xx which Bachmann have/had in their range.

Is not the Hogwarts Castle at NRM a Hall and not a Castle.

Worked fine for me, Windows 10 Chrome. 

[Brew Man]

Win 10 and Chrome here too. All I got was a place holder. It works now since Rob changed the link.

@96RAF Yes, I seem to recall the loco used for filming was a Hall in disguise - perhaps something to do with better clearances with a Hall because filming was off the Western Region and the width of Castle cylinders might have caused problems at platforms.  Hornby's original Hogwarts Castle was a Castle as they did not then have a modern-spec Hall available.

Thanks all for the helpful comments . I have the leaflet . I tried all the various locos - Hall , Castle, Hogwarts  plus many others that come up on Hornby locomotives  function list and none had the sounds as listed on the leaflet.  However I opened the functions for the Flying Scotsman https://uk.hornby.com/products/lner-a1-class-4-6-2-4472-flying-scotsman-era-3-r3284tts  

and the sounds for this one mostly are similar to the ones that should be on my loco. So at least I can get some sounds for the grandsons to enjoy

 

Thanks again.

That is interesting. Although the sounds will be different for each steam loco, I would have thought they would have stuck to a common format, (F2 whistle and so on), obviously not.

Colin, as I recall (I have quite few TTS fitted or installed by me Loco) most of the loco, if not all, have same function with compatible sound according to the specific Loco.

[96RAF]

The sound profiles were mostly the same structure with slight nuances between types.

Generally steam was

F0 - lights if fitted

Fi - sound on/off

F2 and F3 various whistles

F4 brake squeal

F5-F17 various applicable to type sounds.

F18 - aux function

Generally deisel was

F0 - lights

F1 - sound on

F2 and F3 various horns

F4 - squeal

F5 - notch up

F6 - notch down

F7 - idle

F8 - thrash

F9 - cold start

F10-F24 - various applicable to type sounds

F25 - aux function.
