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:

per hour increments via a thumbwheel control and allows operator to set
maximum speed and acceleration/deceleration rates

outputs and matches smoke to locomotive speed

Locomotive Lighting Control - Controls locomotive headlights, marker and
interior lights, beacon lights, ditch lights, and MARS lights
