Experiencing The Range Of Your Locomotive's Railsounds Sound System; Notes On The Railsounds Sound System - Lionel RS-11 Owner's Manual

RailSounds sound system operations
Experiencing the range of your locomotive's RailSounds sound
system
W ith the RailSounds sound system, you experience the sounds of real railroading like
never before. Simply put, it's the most sophisticated, authentic model railroad sound
system in the world.
• Four diesel-roar levels. Your locomotive's speed determines the level of diesel RPM
roar. If you prefer, you may set the level to idle, half throttle, three quarters, or full-speed
output.
• MultiHorn. A different horn sound at different speeds—a RailSounds sound system
exclusive.
• Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your CAB-1 Remote Control or transformer to begin
the effect, again to discontinue.
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power down your track, wait for three to five seconds, and
listen for the air-release sound—that's the locomotive telling you that its Lionel Command
reverse unit has just reset to forward operation.
• Shutdown sequence. No other model railroad sound system shuts down like the
RailSounds sound system. Turn off track power, and after the air-release reset sound, you
have two seconds to restart your locomotive. If you're done with operations, the
RailSounds sound system will commence with a realistic diesel shutdown sequence about
two seconds after the air-release reset occurs. (Battery installation required.)

Notes on the RailSounds sound system

• Turn the volume control knob clockwise or counter-clockwise in the location shown in
Figure 5 on page 18 to adjust sound output.
• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds during RailSounds sound system operation.
They're automatic and, of course, authentic.
• The nine-volt alkaline battery you installed ensures continuous locomotive diesel sounds.
• Longer track-power interruptions (including locomotive derailments) cause the
RailSounds sound system to shut down after about seven seconds.
• For even more authentic RailSounds sound system effects, operate in the TrainMaster
Command Control environment. See page 10-13 for more information.
