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 F3’s speed
determines the level of diesel RPM roar—
automatically, if you prefer: idle, slow, medi-
um, or full-speed output.
•
MultiHorn
TM
. A different horn sound
every time—a Railsounds exclusive.
•
Mechanical bell. Press BELL on your
CAB-1 or transformer to begin the effect;
again to discontinue.
•
Full control of RPMs. Prefer hands-on
control of diesel RPM roar? Want to “ramp
up” RPMs before pulling out, just like real
diesels do? It’s easy with Railsounds. Place
your F3 in neutral and increase track volt-
age to maximum. RPMs will continue to
increase as long as the F3 remains in neu-
tral, eventually reaching their highest
level. Now, decrease track voltage to the
desired speed level. Press DIR on your
CAB-1 remote or transformer, and head
out with your F3 B at full churn, just like
the real thing. RPMs will remain at that
level until the locomotive has come to a
complete halt. Experiment with controlla-
ble RPMs—it’s a blast!
•
Reverse unit reset sound. Power down
your track, wait for 3.5 seconds, and listen
for the air-release sound—that’s the F3
telling you its Liontech 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 2
seconds to restart your F3. If you’re done
with operations, Railsounds will com-
mence with an authentic F3 shutdown
sequence about 2 seconds after the air-
release reset occurs.
