Experiencing The Range Of Your E-6'S Railsounds System; Notes On Railsounds - Lionel E-6 Owner's Manual

RailSounds operations

Experiencing the range of your E-6's RailSounds system

W ith RailSounds, you experience the
sounds of real railroading like never
before. Simply put, it's the most sophisticat-
ed, authentic model railroad sound system
in the world.
• Four diesel-roar levels. Your
E-6's speed determines the level of diesel
RPM roar—automatically, if you pre-
fer: idle, half throttle, three quarters or
full-speed output.
• MultiHorn. A different horn sound at
different speeds—a RailSounds
exclusive.
• Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your
CAB-1 or transformer to begin the effect,
again to discontinue.
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power
down your track, wait for 3-5 seconds,

Notes on RailSounds

• Turn the volume control knob (location
shown on page 11) clockwise or counter
clockwise to adjust sound output.
• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds
during RailSounds operation. They're
automatic and, of course, authentic.
• The 9-volt alkaline battery you installed
ensures continuous E-6 diesel roar.
and listen for the air-release sound—
that's the E-6 set telling you the Lionel
Command reverse unit has just reset to
forward operation.
• Shutdown sequence. No other model
railroad sound system shuts down like
RailSounds. Turn off track power, and,
after the air-release reset sound, you
have two seconds to restart your E-6. If
you're done with operations, RailSounds
will commence with a realistic diesel
shutdown sequence about two seconds
after the air-release reset occurs.
9-volt alkaline battery installa-

tion is required for RailSounds
shutdown operation.
• Longer track-power interruptions
(including locomotive derailments)
cause RailSounds to shut down after
about seven seconds.
• For even more authentic RailSounds
effects, operate in the TrainMaster
Command environment.
