PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Getting to Know Your M.T.H. HO Locomotive
Key Features
Your new HO Diesel Engine is equipped with the exclusive M.T.H. Proto-
Sound® 3.0 digital sound and control system. In plain English, this means your
locomotive contains state-of-the-art electronics providing realistic digital sounds,
precisely controlled speed in increments of 1 scale mile per hour, and much,
much, more.
Compatibility
The Proto-Sound 3 system is universally compatible with track power and/or
signal combinations including analog DC (regular DC power pack), DCC
(NMRA Digital Command Control), or DCS (MTH Digital Command System).
Simply set your Engine on the rails, apply any one of these power/signal sources,
and move out! The Proto-Sound 3.0 system automatically senses the track
environment and adapts accordingly. No hidden jumpers, switches, magic wands,
or programming required!!! A vast array of realistic operation is automatic when
the Engine is run on analog DC. You can expand access to features in a DCC
environment. Experience the most your new locomotive has to offer in the
simple to use yet powerful world of DCS.
To be clear, DCS is NOT a
proprietary version of DCC, as some other manufacturers offer. DCS is a
comprehensive layout control system designed with one primary goal:
make model trains do amazingly realistic things using a simple and
intuitive controller. We put the complexity on the inside, and the fun in
your hands!
Digital Sound
Your Proto-Sound 3 (PS 3) equipped Engine contains over 100 individual
recordings. These recordings are played back dynamically at appropriate times to
create a symphony of realism for your ears. Hear the diesel roar automatically
intensify or lighten when speeding up or slowing down, listen to the sounds of
brakes squeaking and squealing as you come to a stop, or enjoy the random
conversations of railmen working as your model sits at idle. It's all there and it's
incredible.
Your HO diesel includes built-in realistic horn sound effects, including forward
(two blasts) and reverse (three blasts) signalling and crossing signal sounds, all
available with one-touch control from a DCS controller or through any DCC
controller capable of accessing up to F28.
