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
•

•

•
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.
