DCC Features:

The  decoder  provided  with  the  Genesis

TM

  Big  Boy  Locomo-

tive  will  operate  with  any  NMRA  compatible  DCC  system. 
The default setting is address 3. The decoder is rated at 2 amps 
and  will  support  either  2  or  4  digit  addresses.  The  decoder 
functions are fully programmable  by the adjustment of CVs. 
A CV table is included in the operating instructions. Either 14 
speed steps or 28/128 speed steps are supported by this system. 
Available accessory and sound functions are as follows:

 

 Directional Lighting 

 Bell (4 types)

 

 Whistle (12 types) 

 Air Release

 

 Coupling 

 Brake Squeal

 

 Sound On/Off

 

 Fire Box Door

 

 Water Injector 

 Sand Release

 

 Cylinder Cock/Flange squeal 

 Blower Hiss

 

 Conductor’s Voice or rail clack

In addition to Function Ø (Directional lighting) there are nine-
teen additional sound functions to allow the operator to capture 
the full range of unique sounds found on an operating steam 
locomotive. You can now fully immerse yourself in the com-
plexities of prototype operation and add a new level of realism 
to your railroading experience.

Dual-Function decoder is made by Model Rectifier Corpora-
tion for Athearn, Inc.

The installation of sound in a locomotive adds a new dimen-
sion  to  operation.  Sound  makes  a  technically  perfect  static 
model  come  alive  and  enhances  the  experience  of  operation. 
You  will  find  that  you  will  no  longer  "run"  the  engine  but, 
rather,  operate  it  in  the  context  of  your  layout.  Whether  you 
are using conventional DC control or a DCC system, the incor-
poration  of  advanced  electronic  technology  will  provide  the 
ultimate railroading experience.

The  Genesis

TM

  Big  Boy  Locomotive  includes  a  factory 

installed  Dual  Function  DCC  Decoder  with  speakers.  The 
board is mounted in the tender. The DCC decoder automati-
cally senses the power supply type (either DC or NMRA com-
pliant DCC system) that is being used and will operate without 
intervention from the user.

Hand-Held Wireless Controller

Included with the Big Boy locomotive is a hand-held wireless 
controller. When operating with conventional DC, this control 
unit is designed specifically to allow control of the speed and 
direction  of  the  locomotive  as  well  as  these  six  individual 
sound functions:

 

 Bell   

 

 Whistle 

 

 Water Injector   

 Air Release 

 

 Blower Hiss 

 

 Fire Box Door 

These  are  more  sound  features  than  have  been  previously 
available to the conventional DC user in any format. The Gen-
esis

TM

 Big Boy Locomotive will operate on DC without the use 

of this hand held, however, only the steam chuff sounds will be 
available in this operational mode.
