LEGACY RailSounds sound system operations
Using the LEGACY RailSounds sound system in the TrainMaster
Command Control environment
T
o access the LEGACY RailSounds sound system features listed below, you must operate
your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment. The CAB-1 Remote
Controller/Command Base is required to activate these features. Refer to pages 14-23 to learn
how the LEGACY RailSounds sound system is integrated into TrainMaster Command Control
operations.
For proper operation of the LEGACY RailSounds sound system during track power
interruptions and for the locomotive shutdown sequence, you must install a nine-
volt alkaline battery. Refer to Figure 3 on page 29.
In the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you will experience the features of the
LEGACY RailSounds sound system listed below.
•
Eight levels of diesel motor RPM.
Your CAB-1 Remote Controller throttle
automatically determines the level of the diesel motor RPM. You may also set the RPM
sounds to a particular level manually using your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
•
MultiHorn.
A different horn sound at different speeds—a LEGACY RailSounds sound
system exclusive.
•
Mechanical bell.
Press
BELL
on your CAB-1 Remote Controller to begin the effect, then
press
BELL
a second time to discontinue the effect.
•
Squealing brakes.
Press the
BRAKE
button and listen for the squealing of the
locomotive’s brakes as the locomotive slows down.
•
Coupler release sounds.
Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to release an
ElectroCoupler, and you get the sounds of the coupler opening.
•
CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements.
Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller
to trigger conversations between the dispatcher and locomotive engineer. You’ll hear “hold
for clearance,” “cleared for departure,” and many other exchanges. See pages 34 and 35.
•
Shutdown sequence.
When you turn off track power, you have two seconds to power
up again after you hear the reverse unit reset sound. If you do not restore power, you will
hear the realistic diesel shutdown sequence. Because track power is off, a nine-volt alkaline
battery is required for this sequence to function. Refer to Figure 3 on page 29. You may
also trigger the shutdown sequence without powering down the track using the
AUX1, 5
command when the locomotive is stopped and the diesel RPM sounds are at their lowest
level.
