@JamesRx posted:Can those of you who have this set check something for me? I know some of you have Rule 17 working and some don’t, but I just discovered another anomaly: when the engine starts moving I’m not getting the sound of the air brake release that is usual for Legacy diesels. Anyone else notice this?
I did not notice this but I think you are right; I don’t hear that formerly standard sound with mine (see E9 set video above). Specific sounds are not mentioned in the catalog description of the sets of which mine is one. I wish Lionel had made it clear in what ways the sound sets were being modified other than the addition of the bell and horn options. Not a deal breaker for me but still slightly odd.
p.S. It might not mean anything but I notice that the manual for these sets mentions air brake release sounds when using Automatic Sequence Control, which I have not tried yet. The manual for the 2016 issue of E7s also mentions that sound in the same place. But with these and earlier E series sets I know that the sound was there when starting up manually.
