Does anyone know if all Protosound 3.0 O gaguge locomotives at DCC also? I saw this on the CTT BNSF set review.

You can download the manual from the MTH website and the three-rail heresy  Devil of running DCC is between pages 18-26.

I just bought a PS-3 engine and got it delivered a few weeks ago. It has the DCC/DCS switch inside it, you have to look at the dynamic brake tower to find the lift-out piece. Gently lift the dynamic brake tower off and underneath there are two switches, make sure you know which switch to use. I think the other switch is for two or three rail, but when you buy one you get the instruction manual with the engine. I bought the Norfolk Southern heritage series engine in the SD-70Ace, Reading Lines roadname, and it has PS-3 with it.
