22 RailKing Scale F40PH Diesel Engine

(Additional equipment required)

While conventional mode operation of a Proto-Sound 2.0 engine yields wonderfully

realistic sound and several train control features, command mode operation allows the

user to access a world of command functions never before accessible to O Gauge

railroaders. With the addition of the DCS Remote Control System (including a DCS

remote handheld and Track Interface Unit) users gain many advanced features, including:

•

DCS Proto-Speed Control - Establishes desired locomotive speed in scale miles

per hour increments via a thumbwheel control and allows operator to set

maximum speed and acceleration/deceleration rates

•

ProtoSmoke® Variable Output Control - Controls how much smoke each engine

outputs and matches smoke to locomotive speed

•

Locomotive Lighting Control - Controls locomotive headlights, marker and

interior lights, beacon lights, ditch lights, and MARS lights

•

Emergency Stop-Single button push stops all Proto-Sound 2.0 trains but does not

turn off the power

•

One Touch Global Mute/UnMute-Single button mutes or unmutes all

DCS-controlled locomotives' user-defined actions, including sound, lights, and

smoke

•

Proto-Dispatch Operation-Public Address-like feature allows users to speak

through locomotive speaker during operation

•

Proto-Cast-Allows users to play audio recordings through locomotive speaker

during operation

•

Proto-Doppler Sound Effects Set Up-Users can configure locomotive for

Doppler Operation, including setting distance points for Doppler start, repeat,

and stop modes

•

Independent Volume Control of Engine Sounds, Bell, Horn & Whistle for each

Locomotive

•

Control up to 50 different DCS-Equipped Locomotives at one time with multiple

TIUs

•

Proto-Effects™ Set Up-User can select individual Proto-Effects™ operations to

be active or inactive, including cab chatter, train wreck sounds, coupler sounds,

and wheel clickety-clack sounds

•

Direction Control Set Up-User can set initial individual start-up direction (start

in forward or reverse) for double-heading operations

•

Locomotive Consist Set-up-User can determine locomotive values for consist

make-ups, allowing multiple locomotives belonging to a consist to operate

together
