Using DCS With DC Power

M.T.H.’s revolutionary Digital Command System, or DCS, allows users to control their
RailKing One-Gauge locomotives in a command control environment. User’s can
remotely access hundreds of features inside each RailKing One-Gauge locomotive with
the wireless remote control. Digital signaling and an easy-to-use interface make using
DCS a snap. More information on DCS can be found on page 26 or by visiting
