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 FT’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 exclu-
sive.
•
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 FT in neutral and
increase track voltage to maximum.
RPMs will continue to increase as long as
the FT remains in neutral, 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, your FT 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 con-
trollable 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 FT telling you 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 FT. If you’re done with
operations, Railsounds will com-
mence with a realistic diesel shut-
down sequence about two seconds
after the air-release reset occurs.
