RailSounds sound system operations
W
ith the RailSounds sound system, 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.
•
DynaChuff.
Real steam locomotive chuffing depends on the locomotive’s load. DynaChuff
simulates both labored and relaxed chuffing sounds. Highball down the mainline and hear
the labored chuffing of a locomotive battling inertia. Reduce your throttle setting, and
chuffing relaxes to a more sedate sound, as though the load placed on the locomotive has
decreased. Experience DynaChuff on steep grades, at yard crawls, and at speed. Another
RailSounds sound system exclusive.
•
Variable chuff rate.
The speed of your locomotive determines the steam chuff rate.
Refer to page 20.
•
MultiWhistle.
Different whistles for different speeds—a RailSounds sound system
exclusive.
•
Authentic bell.
Press
BELL
on your CAB-1 Remote Controller or transformer to begin
the effect, again to discontinue. Even the final “hit” is muted like the real thing.
•
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 its Command reverse
unit has just
reset to forward operation.
•
Shutdown sequence.
No other model railroad sound system shuts down like the
RailSounds sound system. 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, the RailSounds
sound system will commence with an authentic shutdown sequence about two seconds
after the air-release reset occurs.
