Your FM Trainmaster's Railsounds system—the basics
L ionel Railsounds is the most realistic
model railroad sound system in the
world. Your FM Trainmaster features digital
samples from an authentic FM Trainmaster
for the ultimate in realism.
Begin by in-stalling a 9-volt alkaline bat-
tery in your FM Trainmaster. This ensures
interuption free operation of Railsounds.
Remove the cab by unscrewing the cab
mount screws (see diagram on page 14 for
location). Connect the 9-volt alkaline bat-
tery to the battery clip down inside on the
chassis. Recab.
When you first apply track power, the FM
Although Railsounds is powered by track voltage, the battery is required for uninterrupted

operation. Use only alkaline batteries.
Discontinue locomotive power for 10 seconds before changing the Railsounds

switch position.
If Railsounds "drops out" during track power interrupts (direction change), replace the
Note!
battery.
Trainmaster's Railsounds system delivers an
authentic start-up sequence, followed by the
sounds of the locomotive at idle. As the FM
Trainmaster's speed increases, the RPMs
move through four levels of roar. Sounds
return to idle only after the locomotive has
come to a complete halt.
To silence the diesel roar (horn and bell
remain unaffected), slide the Rail-sounds
switch, located underneath the locomotive,
to the S position before powering up

the locomotive. See page 4 for the switch
location and positioning.
