LEGACY RailSounds sound system operations
Using the LEGACY RailSounds sound system in the TrainMaster
Command Control environment
O
perating in the TrainMaster Command Control environment allows you access to many
of the features of the LEGACY RailSounds sound system. The CAB-1 Remote Controller
activates features such as TowerCom announcements, CrewTalk dialog, and coupler release
sounds. Refer to pages 20-21 to learn how the LEGACY RailSounds sound system is integrated
into TrainMaster Command Control operations.
Note!
For proper operation of the LEGACY RailSounds sound system during track power
interruptions and for the locomotive shutdown sequence, you must install a nine-
volt alkaline battery. See pages 10-11.
In the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you will experience these features of
the LEGACY RailSounds sound system. See page 19 to adjust the volume.
• DynaChuff. Your locomotive's speed automatically determines the level of chuffing
sounds. At low speeds, the chuffing is relaxed. When you highball down the mainline, the
chuffing intensity is labored. You may also manually set the chuff sounds to a particular
level using your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
• Whistle. A different whistle sound at different speeds.
• Authentic bell. Press BELL on your CAB-1 Remote Controller to begin the effect, then
press BELL a second time to discontinue the effect.
• Squealing brakes. Press the BRAKE button and listen for the squealing of the
locomotive's brakes as the locomotive slows down.
• Coupler release sounds. Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to release the
ElectroCoupler, and you get the sounds of the coupler opening.
• TowerCom announcements. TowerCom announcements are a dispatcher-initiated
radio conversation with the engineer. Depending on the movement of the locomotive, the
dialog will change. The LEGACY RailSounds sound system will often use different words and
phrases when composing the conversation.
• CrewTalk dialog. CrewTalk dialog is an engineer-initiated radio conversation with
the dispatcher. Depending on the movement of the locomotive, the dialog will change.
The LEGACY RailSounds sound system will often use different words and phrases when
composing the conversation.
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power down your track, wait three seconds, and listen for
the air-release sound—that's the locomotive telling you that its Lionel Command reverse
unit has reset to forward. (A nine-volt alkaline battery is required.)
• Shutdown sequence. When you turn off track power, you have two seconds to power up
again after you hear the reverse unit reset sound. If you do not restore power, you will hear
the realistic shutdown sequence. Because track power is off, a battery is required for this
sequence to function.
