Railsounds Help | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

steelhead76OGR Forum Member

I've been searching around with no luck on this one. I'll try to explain as best I can.

I have a Lionel Lionmaster SD90mac that I run in conventional. I usually keep the Railsounds switch off, but I use a battery anyway. The reason for the battery is that When I blow the horn at very low speed, it doesnt work without the battery.

But here is where it gets funny: Keep in mind sound is switched off. When I stop the train and shut off the power to the track, even switch off the surge protector my transformer is plugged into, The railsounds starts its start-up sequence. It lasts for about 2-3 seconds then stops.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

My guess would be a noise spike is trigger it until it figures out that it's supposed to be off.

Are you sure that isn't the shutdown sequence? In conventional that would be expected.

I'm sure. It does it when the rail sounds switch under the engine is in the off position.
