It is important to note that your Boiler and Tender lights will be different if you have
the LMK softkey set to a Train indication (LMK toggled OFF). This means that the
lights that are facing opposite the engine's direction of travel will simply be OFF.
DCC - Digital Command Control
DCC is a popular digital command scheme wherein the track power is also a digital
control signal. That is, using a DCC controller, you can communicate with multiple
engines and have all of them moving at different speeds and in varying directions on
the same track at the same time. The power/command signal remains constant and
engines are commanded to perform as desired. Your MTH PS3.0-equipped engine has
the ability to decode and respond to these DCC commands. This allows you to mix and
match MTH PS3—equipped engines as well as operate them with any other
manufacturer's DCC-decoder equipped engine. The best part about your MTH PS3.0-
equipped engine is that the decoder is built right in. No need to remove the hood and
install speakers or boards. It's all done for you at the factory. Each PS3.0-equipped
engine has a full complement of lights, sounds, smoke (if equipped). Just set the model
on the rails, apply DCC power and hit F3 on your DCC handheld controller and you're
off and running.
