Experiencing The Range Of Your T1 Railsounds System; Notes On Railsounds - Lionel Pennsylvania Railroad 4-4-4-4 T1 Duplex Owner's Manual

Experiencing the range of your T1 RailSounds system

W ith RailSounds, you experience the
sounds of real railroading like never
before. Simply put, it's the most sophisticat-
ed, authentic model railroad sound system in
the world. And remember—coming from
inside your Lionel T1 tender are the authen-
tic sounds of the RailSounds digital sound
system. No other electric train can offer you
authentic sounds. That's the power of
Lionel.
• Variable chuff rate. Your T1 speed
determines the steam chuff rate.
• MultiWhistle
every time—a RailSounds exclusive.
• Authentic bell. Press BELL on your
CAB-1 or transformer to begin the effect,
again to discontinue. Even the final "hit"
is muted like the real thing.

Notes on RailSounds

• Use the volume control dial, located on the
underside of the tender, to adjust sound
output.
• Listen for incidental engine sounds during
RailSounds operation. They're automatic
and, of course, authentic.
• The 9-volt alkaline battery you installed
ensures continuous sounds, even during
short track-power interrupts.
• Longer track-power interruptions (includ-
ing locomotive derailments) cause Rail-
Sounds to shut down after about 7 seconds.
• For even more authentic RailSounds
effects, operate your T1 in the TrainMaster
Command environment. See page 8-10 for
details.
TM . Different whistles
• Reverse unit reset sound. Power
down your track, wait for 3-5 seconds,
and listen for the air-release sound—
that's the T1 telling you its R2IR
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 T1. If you're
done with operations, RailSounds will
commence with an authentic shutdown
sequence about two seconds after the air-
release reset occurs.
NOTE: Battery must be installed for shut-
down sequence.
