Your Sd 60/70'S Railsounds; Notes On Railsounds - Lionel SD 60 Owner's Manual

Your SD 60/70's Railsounds system—the basics
L ionel Railsounds is the most realistic
model railroad sound system in the
world. Your SD 60/70 Railsounds upgrade
features digital samples for the ultimate in
realism.
When you first apply track power, the SD
60/70's Railsounds system delivers an
authentic start-up sequence, followed by the
sounds of the locomotive at idle. As the SD

Notes on Railsounds

• Turn the volume knob clockwise or
counter clockwise in the location shown on
page 7 to adjust sound output.
• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds
during Railsounds operation. They're auto-
matic and, of course, authentic.
• The 9-volt alkaline battery you installed
ensures continuous SD 60/70 diesel roar.
NOTE: See page 7 for location of volume control knob
60/70's speed increases, the RPMs move
through four levels of roar. Sounds return to
idle only after the locomotive has come to a
complete halt.
To silence the diesel roar (horn and bell
remain unaffected), slide the Railsounds
switch on the underside of the locomotive
(see page 5), before powering up the loco-
motive.
• Longer track-power interruptions (includ-
ing locomotive derailments) cause
Railsounds to shut down after about 7 sec-
onds.
• For even more authentic Railsounds
effects, operate in the TrainMaster
Command environment.
