with ProtoSounds® without disrupting the sound effects. Therefore,
whenever ProtoSounds® senses that the Trainmaster system is being used,
it automatically disables ProtoSounds® sound effects. The operator retains
control over the engine, but no sound effects will play.
*ProtoSounds needs over 14 volts of power to work properly. Overloading or using in-line
accessories with this transformer may lower the peak voltage below ProtoSound’s
requirements.
