RailSounds in the Command environment

Y

our locomotive’s RailSounds system
gives you even more in the

TrainMaster Command environment.
DynaChuff

TM

. 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 exclusive.
Bonus sounds like squealing brakes
with the CAB-1 BRAKE command.
Incidental sounds you control with
CAB-1 numeric keypad commands, like
steam let-off and steam release effects.
