Notes On Railsounds - Lionel SD 60/70 Owner's Manual

Maintaining and servicing your SD 60/70
Experiencing the range of your SD 60/70' s Railsounds system
W
ith Railsounds, you experience the
sounds of real railroading like never
before. Simply put, it's the most sophisticat-
ed, authentic model railroad sound system
in the world.
• Four diesel-roar levels. Your SD
60/70's speed determines the level of
diesel RPM roar—automatically, if
you prefer: idle, half throttle, three
quarters or full-speed output.
• MultiHorn ™ . A different horn sound

Notes on Railsounds

• Turn the volume knob clockwise or
counter clockwise in the location shown
on page 6 to adjust sound output.

• Reverse unit reset sound. Power
down your track, wait for 3-5 seconds,
and listen for the air-release sound—
that's the SD 60/70 telling you its Lionel
Command reverse unit has just reset to
forward operation.
• Shutdown sequence. No other model
railroad sound system shuts down like
Railsounds. Turn off track power, and
after the air-release reset sound, you
have two seconds to restart your SD
60/70. If you're done with operations,
Railsounds will commence with a realis-
tic diesel shutdown sequence about two
seconds after the air-release reset occurs.
• Longer track-power interruptions
(including locomotive derailments)
cause Railsounds to shut down after
about 7 seconds.
• For even more authentic Railsounds
effects, operate in the TrainMaster
Command environment.
