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

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

•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
