DCS locos
Posted by choochin3 on Friday, October 8, 2004 4:20 PM
I am thinking about buying a MTH diesel locomotive with DCS.
I need to know what features can be used in conventional mode.
Don't have a DCS system yet.
Thanx![:D]

Hi Carl,

These should be common all PS2 engines in conventional mode:
1. Engine sounds
2. Cab chatter
3. Speed control
4. Proto-Couple – uncouple anywhere on layout by use of horn and bell buttons
5. FYS or PSA – freight yard sounds or passenger stations announcements.
6. horn
7. bell
8. smoke if it has it

All of these should be able to be controlled with the horn and bell buttons.

Hopes this helps
