Railsounds 4.0 Upgrades
for AC & DC UCUB's
Railsounds 4.0 upgrade kits are available in several different configurations. This particular upgrade kit is designed for use with our Universal Command Upgrade Boards. If your locomotive is already equipped with a UCUB and you want to upgrade to Railsounds 4.0, then this kit is required. The Railsounds upgrade for UCUB's is a simple "Plug N Play" installation. The phot below illustrates how the Railsounds upgrade installs on the UCUB.
The Railsounds 4.0 upgrade connects to the UCUB with a polarized 4-pin wire harness and two sets of 3-pin standoffs. Each diesel Railsounds upgrade includes our own on board rev generator (which tells the Railsounds when to ramp up and down). Each steam Railsounds upgrade includes a reed switch and rare earth magnet (which generates the chuff sounds based on wheel revolution as opposed to motor voltage).
Each Railsounds 4.0 upgrade for UCUB's delivers the same high quality sound you have come to expect from Railsounds. Every Railsounds 4.0 upgrades delivers the following sound features;
- Start up and shut down sounds
- Horn or whistle and bell
- TowerCom and CrewTalk
- Engine specific locomotive sounds
- Squealing brakes
- Volume control from the Cab-1 remote
- Coupler firing sounds
- Engine RPM sounds & steam chuffing (when train is moving)
- Steam blow down and air release (steam sounds only)
Each Railsounds 4.0 upgrade kit includes the following components;
- Railsounds motherboard with either a rev generator or a reed switch and rare earth magnet (dependent upon sound type)
- Railsounds 4.0 audio and power board
- 2" diameter high performance speaker w/ 8" plug
- Polarized 4-pin harness and standoffs for Plug N Play installation
- Comprehensive detailed installation manual
If you have alreay purchased a Lionel Railsounds 4.0 upgrade for a Railsounds Ready locomotive you only need to purchase the Railsounds Motherboard. You can then use the two Railsounds cards you have to complete the installation. Please note that diesel sounds will require a Motherboard with a VCO and steam sounds will require a Motherboard with a reed switch.
