Your Locomotive's RailSounds sound system—the basics
T he Lionel RailSounds sound system is the most realistic model railroad sound system in
the world. Your locomotive features digital sound samples for the ultimate in realism.
Begin by installing a nine-volt alkaline battery (not included) in the tender. This ensures
interruption-free operation of the RailSounds sound system. As illustrated in Figure 9 below,
simply remove the four body screws and lift away the body to access the battery. Connect the
nine-volt alkaline battery to the battery harness (remove the protective cover from the battery
harness), and slide the battery into the holder inside the tender.
When you first apply track power, the locomotive's RailSounds sound system delivers an
authentic start-up sequence, followed by the sounds of the locomotive at idle. As the locomo-
tive's speed increases, the chuff rate will increase, too.
