Your locomotive’s RailSounds system—the basics
Although RailSounds is powered by track voltage, the battery is required for
uninterrupted operation and shutdown sequences. Use only alkaline batteries.
Discontinue locomotive power for ten seconds before changing the RailSounds switch
position.
If RailSounds “drops out” during track power interruptions (for example, during a
direction change), replace the battery.
RailSounds operations

L
ionel RailSounds 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 non-powered
locomotive (B-unit). This ensures
interruption-free operation of RailSounds. As
illustrated in Figure 3, the battery clip is
located inside the body. Remove the front and
rear screws from the ends of the body and lift
the body off the frame. Press the battery into
the clip as illustrated in Figure 3.
When you first apply track power, the
locomotive’s RailSounds system produces
sounds of the locomotive at rest. As the
locomotive moves, the RPM’s increase with
the locomotive’s speed.
To silence the diesel roar (the horn and
bell remain unaffected), slide the RailSounds
switch on the underside of the locomotive to
SIG (refer to Figure 4 on page 14)
before
powering up the locomotive
