LEGACY RailSounds sound system operations

our locomotive is equipped with the Lionel LEGACY RailSounds sound system, the most

realistic model railroad sound system in the world. The LEGACY RailSounds sound system

brings the sounds of the railroad to your layout through high quality sound recordings of real

locomotives.

When you operate your locomotive in the conventional environment, you get the realistic

sounds of the diesel motor, which automatically revs up as the speed of the locomotive

increases. You can sound the locomotive's horn or activate the ringing of the mechanical bell.

CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements are triggered with the horn button on your

controller. When you are through with operations and power down the track, your locomotive's

LEGACY RailSounds sound system starts a realistic shutdown sequence (a nine-volt alkaline

battery is required, see Figure 3 on page 26).

When you operate your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment,

you get full control of the LEGACY RailSounds sound system. In addition to the horn and bell

sounds, the locomotive's RPM sounds automatically rev up, and you can also set a particular

RPM level using your CAB-1 Remote Controller. In the Command Control environment, the

release of the ElectroCouplers is accompanied by a coupler release sound. Use the BRAKE

button, and listen for the sound of squealing brakes. You can also trigger CrewTalk dialog

and TowerCom announcements, which simulate the interaction between the locomotive crew

and the dispatcher. Whenever you choose to shutdown your locomotive, the realistic shutdown

sequence commences. A nine-volt alkaline battery is required for the shudown sequence, if

track power is turned off. Refer to Figure 3 on page 26.

Operating your locomotive with the LEGACY Control system provides you control of all the

features mentioned above as well as access to the new quilling horn and single hit bell

sounds.
