Premier Climax Logger Steam Engine

Additional Features Accessible with the DCS Remote 
Control System:

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.

• Locomotive Lighting Control-Independently controls locomotive headlights,
marker and interior lights, and ditch lights.

• Emergency Stop-Single button push stops your trains (but does not turn off
track 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.
