With 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 F3’s
speed determines the level of diesel RPM
roar—automatically, if you prefer: idle,
slow, medium, or full-speed output
• MultiHornTM. A different horn sound
every time—a Railsounds exclusive
• 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 F3 set in neutral
and increase track voltage to maxi-
mum RPMs will continue to increase
as long as the F3 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 with your F3 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 controllable 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 F3 set telling you its Liontech
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 2 seconds to restart
your F3 If you’re done with opera-
tions, Railsounds will commence with
an authentic F3 shutdown sequence
about 2 seconds after the air-release
reset occurs

Notes on Railsounds
• Use the non-powered F3B unit’s
roof-mounted “radiator fan” volume
control to adjust sound output (See
page 11 for its location )
• Listen for incidental locomotive
sounds during Railsounds opera-
tion They’re automatic and, of
course, authentic
• The 9-volt alkaline battery you
installed ensures continuous F3
diesel roar
• Longer track-power interruptions
(including locomotive derailments)
cause Railsounds to shut down after
about 7 seconds
• For even more authentic Railsounds
effects, operate in the TrainMaster
Command environment
