TrainMaster Command Control operations
Using the LEGACY RailSounds sound system in the TrainMaster Command Control
environment
O
perating in the TrainMaster Command Control environment allows you access to many
of the features of the LEGACY RailSounds sound system. The CAB-1 Remote Controller
activates features such as TowerCom announcements, CrewTalk dialog, and coupler
release sounds. Refer to pages 25-26 to learn how the LEGACY RailSounds sound system is
integrated into TrainMaster Command Control operations.
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. See pages 10-11.
In the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you will experience these
features of the LEGACY RailSounds sound system. See page 9 to adjust the volume.
• DynaChuff. Your locomotive's speed automatically determines the level of chuffing
sounds. At low speeds, the chuffing is relaxed. When you highball down the
mainline, the chuffing intensity is labored.
• Whistle. A different whistle sound and steam effect at different speeds.
• Authentic bell. Press BELL on your CAB-1 Remote Controller to begin the sound and
syncronized movment, 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 the
ElectroCoupler, and you get the sounds of the coupler opening.
• TowerCom announcements. TowerCom announcements are a dispatcher-initiated
radio conversation with the engineer. Depending on the movement of the locomotive,
the dialog will change. The LEGACY RailSounds sound system will often use
different words and phrases when composing the conversation.
• CrewTalk dialog. CrewTalk dialog is an engineer-initiated radio conversation with
the dispatcher. Depending on the movement of the locomotive, the dialog will
change. The LEGACY RailSounds sound system will often use different words and
phrases when composing the conversation.
• 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. (A nine-volt alkaline battery is
required.)
• 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 shutdown sequence and see the steam blowdown effect.
Because track power is off, a battery is required for this sequence to function. See
Note!
page 10-11 for battery installation.
