RailSounds sound system operation

Your locomotive’s RailSounds sound system—the basics

T

he Lionel RailSounds sound system is the most realistic model railroad sound system in
the world. Your locomotive features digital sound samples for the 

ultimate 

in realism.

Begin by installing a nine-volt 

alkaline 

battery (not included) in the tender. This ensures

interruption-free operation of the RailSounds sound system. As illustrated in Figure 9 below,
simply remove the four body screws and lift away the body to access the battery. Connect the
nine-volt alkaline battery to the battery harness (remove the protective cover from the battery
harness), and slide the battery into the holder inside the tender.

When you first apply track power, the locomotive’s RailSounds sound system delivers an

authentic start-up sequence, followed by the sounds of the locomotive at idle. As the locomo-
tive’s speed increases, the chuff rate will increase, too.

Note!

Note!

Although the RailSounds sound system is powered by track voltage, 

the battery is

required 

for uninterrupted operation and shutdown sequences. Use only alkaline

batteries.

If the RailSounds sound system “drops out” during track power interruptions
(direction change), replace the battery.
