Jasher you have to have the MTH DCS system Soft keys ...............the code is in the instruction book, page 102 ( I think) THe code for the wreck is STW Each type of engine has it's own sound of a train wreck. I hope this helps

I talked to my MTH dealer today and he said that different Mth engines have different wreck sounds and that on some O scale there are animal sounds too

Ian,

MTH has special sounds available with DCS in G and O gauges. It is a command control system, which, I might add, gets very tediuous at times to me, unless you quiet the chatter sounds and instead initiate the sounds yourself.

I'm thinking that DCS could be used as R/C in and of itself without any other system if you are able to put the electronics in a battery car; I yet may try this with my limited skills; someone versed in electronics would be able to do it quickly.

you can rig some explosives like fireworks near the track and stage a derailment (I have DCS sounds as well and have heard the awful screams of the dead & dying)[:D]

Quite by accident I found the train wreck sound on my Mth -8 There were about
15 or so people watching at the time . They all started laughing when all the yelling for help started If you have never heard it you should listen to it some time I think some of the trainhead people are just sick( my self included he he)
