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 diesel
locomotives for the ultimate in realism.
You may choose to install a nine-volt
alkaline battery in your locomotive. This
ensures interruption-free operation of the
RailSounds sound system. As illustrated in
Figure 3, the battery holder is located inside
the cab. To access the battery, squeeze in the
side windows and lift off the roof. Attach the
battery to the battery harness, then slide the

is required for uninterrupted operation and shutdown sequences. Use only
alkaline batteries.
Note!
Discontinue locomotive power for ten seconds before changing the RailSounds
sound system switch position.
Note!
If the RailSounds sound system "drops out" during track power interruptions
(for example, during a direction change), replace the battery.
battery into the holder. Replace the roof, and
the battery installation is complete.
When you first apply track power, the
locomotive's RailSounds sound system
produces sounds of the locomotive at rest. As
the locomotive moves, the RPMs increase
with the locomotive's speed.
To silence the diesel roar (the horn and bell
remain unaffected), slide the RailSounds
sound system switch on the underside of the
locomotive to NO SND (refer to Figure 1 on
page 5 ) before powering up the locomotive.
