RailSounds operations
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.
•
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.)

Notes on RailSounds
• Turn the volume knob clockwise or
counter-clockwise to adjust sound
output. The volume control knob is
located under the roof-top radiator fan
directly behind the screened vents.
• 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.
• 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.
