LEGACY RailSounds sound system operations
Using the LEGACY RailSounds sound system in the conventional
environment
Couple your non-powered locomotive to a powered locomotive for operation in the

conventional environment.
W
hen you first power up your non-powered locomotive, you will hear the sounds of the
locomotive at rest. As the locomotive set moves, the RPM sounds automatically increase with
the locomotive's speed. In the conventional environment, the horn and bell sounds are activated by
your transformer controls.
To silence the motor sounds, slide the LEGACY RailSounds sound system switch located under
the rear radiator vent to the SS position (see Figure 1 on page 8 for the location of this switch) before
you power up the locomotive or after the locomotive has been powered down for a minimum of ten
seconds. The horn and bell sounds will still be active. To adjust the volume, use the volume control
knob located under the rear radiator vent. Refer to Figure 3 on page 22.
When the LEGACY RailSounds sounds system switch is in the SS position, the CrewTalk

dialog and TowerCom announcements are inactive.
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. Refer to Figure 3 on page 22.
In the conventional environment, you will experience several features of the LEGACY RailSounds
sound system.
• Eight levels of diesel motor RPM. The level of diesel motor RPM automatically varies with
your throttle adjustments.
• MultiHorn. A different horn sound at different speeds—a LEGACY RailSounds sound system
exclusive.
• Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your transformer to begin the effect, then press BELL a
second time to discontinue the effect.
• CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements. CrewTalk dialog is triggered by your
transformer's HORN button. See page 25.
• 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. Because the track is powered down, a nine-volt alkaline battery is required for this
feature. Refer to Figure 3 on page 22.
• 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
diesel shutdown sequence. Because track power is off, a nine-volt battery is required for this
sequence to function. Refer to Figure 3 on page 22.
