RailSounds operations
Experiencing the range of your locomotive's RailSounds system
W
ith RailSounds, 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 determines the level
of diesel RPM roar—automatically, if
you prefer: 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 Remote Control or transformer to
begin the effect, again to discontinue.
Notes on RailSounds
• Turn the volume knob clockwise or
counter-clockwise in the location shown
in Figure 4 on page 17 to adjust sound
output.
• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds
during RailSounds operation. They're
automatic and, of course, authentic.
• The nine-volt alkaline battery you
installed ensures continuous locomotive
diesel sounds.
• 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
RailSounds. Turn off track power, and
after the air-release reset sound, you have
two seconds to restart your locomotive. If
you're done with operations, RailSounds
will commence with a realistic diesel
shutdown sequence about two seconds
after the air-release reset occurs. (Battery
installation required.)
• 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.
