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 samples from real-life steam
locomotives for the ultimate in realism.
Begin by installing a nine-volt alkaline
battery in the tender as illustrated in Figure 4
on page 9. This ensures interruption-free
operation of the RailSounds sound system.
The battery clip is located inside the tender.
To access the battery clip, you must first
remove the four body screws from the bottom
of the tender and then lift off the tender body.
Refer to Figure 4 on page 9 for the location
of the body screws.
When you first apply track power, the

locomotive's RailSounds sound system will
produce the sounds of the locomotive at rest.
As the locomotive moves, chuffing begins,
increasing with the locomotive's speed.
To silence the steam chuffing sound
(whistle/bell are unaffected), slide the
RailSounds switch, located on the underside
of the tender (see page 9 for the location), to
the SIGNAL position before powering up the
locomotive. The whistle is activated by using
the lever or button on your transformer or
CAB-1 Remote Controller. The volume control
knob is located on the bottom of the tender (see
page 9). Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to
adjust the volume level.
