RailSounds operations
Experiencing the range of your locomotive's RailSounds sound
system
W
ith the RailSounds sound system, you experience the sounds of real railroading like
never before. Simply put, it's the most sophisticated, authentic model railroad sound
system in the world.
• Four diesel-roar levels. Your locomotive's speed automatically determines the level of
diesel RPM roar. If you prefer, you may set the level to idle, half throttle, three quarters, or
full-speed output using your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
• MultiHorn. A different horn sound at different speeds—a RailSounds sound system
exclusive.
• Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your CAB-1 Remote Control or transformer to begin
the effect, again to discontinue.
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power down your track, wait for three to five seconds, and
listen for the air-release sound—that's the locomotive telling you that its Lionel Command
reverse unit has just reset to forward operation.
• Shutdown sequence. No other model railroad sound system shuts down like the
RailSounds sound system. Turn off track power, and after the air-release reset sound, you
have two seconds to restart your locomotives. If you're done with operations, the
RailSounds sound system will commence with a realistic diesel shutdown sequence about
two seconds after the air-release reset occurs. (Battery installation required.)
Notes on the RailSounds sound system
• Turn the volume knob clockwise or counter-clockwise in the location shown in Figure 3 on
page 7 to adjust sound output.
• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds during RailSounds sound system operation.
They're automatic and, of course, authentic.
• The nine-volt alkaline batteries you installed ensure continuous locomotive diesel sounds.
• Longer track-power interruptions (including locomotive derailments) cause the
RailSounds sound system to shut down after about seven seconds.
• For even more authentic RailSounds sound system effects, operate in the TrainMaster
Command Control environment. See page 11-14 for more information.
