RailSounds sound system operations
RailSounds sound system operations
Y
our locomotive is equipped with the Lionel RailSounds sound system, the most realistic
model railroad sound system in the world. The RailSounds sound system brings the sounds
of the railroad to your layout through high quality digital samples of real locomotives.
When you operate your locomotive in the conventional environment, you get the realistic
sounds of the diesel engine, which automatically rev up as the speed of the locomotive
increases. You can sound the locomotive’s horn or activate the ringing of the mechanical bell.
When you are through with operations and power down the track, your locomotive’s RailSounds
sound system starts a realistic diesel shutdown sequence. A nine-volt alkaline battery is
required.
When you operate your locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you
get full control of the RailSounds sound system. In addition to the horn and bell sounds, the
locomotive’s RPM sounds automatically rev up, but you can also set a particular RPM sound
using your CAB-1 Remote Controller. In the Command Control environment, the release of the
ElectroCouplers is accompanied by a coupler release sound. Use the
BRAKE
button, and listen
for the sound of squealing metal. You can also trigger CrewTalk communication and TowerCom
announcements, which simulate the interaction between the locomotive crew and the
yardmaster. Whenever you choose to shutdown your locomotive, the realistic shutdown sequence
commences. A nine-volt alkaline battery is required if track power is turnd off.
