AC TRACTION CAR SOUNDS
Our prototypically correct Trolley Sound features: Bell, Horn, Door Operation sounds and
Wheel on Rail sounds, each of these affects can be individually selected for integration into
your operation. If desired, the horn can be manually operated. The bell will ring twice when
the trolley begins to move as a warning for the passengers. With the door operation sounds
integrated in your operation you will hear the doors close as the trolley pulls out from the
station and then open shortly after making your next stop. You will hear the wheels ‘clicking’
over the rail joints at a varying rate based on motor voltage or you can choose for it will be as
though you are operating on welded rail. For those who don't have any doors, like older
trollies, they can be set not to play. Select an appropriate speaker from page 4.

Doodlebug
The RDC New Haven units feature the Hancock Air
Whistle found on the New Haven RR. Standard RDC
units are equipped with a single chime horn as equipped
from the factory. Many railroads changed these horns
after delivery or use over a period of years.
AC operators: RDC, RAILBUS & DOODLEBUG SOUNDS
The standard AC SOUND SYSTEM's were designed for
the model railroader utilizing the standard conventional
Whistle / Bell controller or the LocoMatic™ controller for
operation of the Horn, Bell and other sound functions.
This system consists of two boards, the AC power board
and the sound board.
They will automatically adjust the prime mover rpm with
changes in motor voltage.
Sounds produced are appropriate for the type of unit
listed. These systems can be mounted in the engine or
car (with track pickups). If mounting in a car, for best
results you should have an e-unit connected as well,
otherwise the sound system will ramp up and down with
track voltage. E-Unit #518 would be ideal for this type of
installation.
Appropriate speakers can be found on page 4.
