o access the LEGACY RailSounds sound system features listed below, you must operate
your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment. The CAB-1 Remote
Controller/Command Base is required to activate these features. Refer to pages 9-17 to learn
how the LEGACY RailSounds sound system is integrated into TrainMaster Command Control
operations.

interruptions and for the locomotive shutdown sequence, you must install a nine-
volt alkaline battery. Refer to Figure 3 on page 22.
In the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you will experience the features of the
LEGACY RailSounds sound system listed below.
• Eight levels of diesel motor RPM. Your CAB-1 Remote Controller throttle
automatically determines the level of the diesel motor RPM. You may also set the RPM
sounds to a particular level manually using your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
• MultiHorn. A different horn sound at different speeds—a LEGACY RailSounds sound
system exclusive.
• Mechanical 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 an
ElectroCoupler, and you get the sounds of the coupler opening.
• CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements. Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller
to trigger conversations between the dispatcher and locomotive engineer. You'll hear "hold
for clearance," "cleared for departure," and many other exchanges. See pages 27 and 28.
• 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 alkaline
battery is required for this sequence to function. Refer to Figure 3 on page 22. You may
also trigger the shutdown sequence without powering down the track using the AUX1, 5
command when the locomotive is stopped and the diesel RPM sounds are at their lowest
level.
