Not sure what this is for, perhaps it's something they used at the factory to program the sounds in the tender.
Railsound/Signal Sounds switch. This is simply a way to turn off the background sounds like chuff, etc. if you don't want them. This capability has been around since the early RailSounds days.
If the switch isn't there, which is what you describe, it's probably an old mold for the tender and they didn't remove the old switch position.
Thanks John, I'll have to take a closer look and see if there a switch in there that I missed.
