o access all of the features of the RailSounds 5.0 sound system, you must operate your
locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment. The CAB-1 Remote Controller
is required to activate features such as TowerCom announcements, CrewTalk communication, and
coupler release sounds. Refer to pages 17-24 to learn how the RailSounds 5.0 sound system is
integrated into TrainMaster Command Control operations.

interruptions and for the locomotive shutdown sequence, you must install a nine-volt
alkaline battery. See page 10.
In the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you will experience all of the features of
the RailSounds sound system.
• Eight levels of electric motor RPM. Your CAB-1 Remote Controller throttle
automatically determines the level of the electric motor RPM. You may also set the RPM
sounds to a particular level manually using your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
• MultiHorn. A different horn sound at different speeds—a RailSounds 5.0 sound system
exclusive.
• Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your CAB-1 Remote Controller to begin the effect, 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 an
ElectroCoupler, and you get the sounds of the coupler opening.
• CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements. Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller
to trigger conversations between the dispatcher and locomotive engineer. You'll hear "hold for
clearance," "cleared for departure," and many other exchanges. See pages 15 and 16.
• 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 electric shutdown sequence. Because track power is off, a nine-volt battery is
required for this sequence to function. You may also trigger the shutdown sequence using
AUX1, 5 command without powering down the track.
