While conventional mode operation of a Proto-Sound 3.0 engine yields wonderfully
realistic sound and several train control features, command mode operation allows the
user to access a world of command functions never before accessible to O Gauge
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:
•DCS Proto-Speed Control - Establishes desired locomotive speed in scale miles per
hour increments via a thumbwheel control and allows operator to set maximum
speed and acceleration/deceleration rates
•ProtoSmoke® Variable Output Control - Controls how much smoke each engine
outputs and matches smoke to locomotive speed
•Locomotive Lighting Control - Controls locomotive headlights, marker and interior
lights, beacon lights, ditch lights, and MARS lights

•Emergency Stop - Single button push stops all Proto-Sound 3.0 trains but does
not turn off the power
•One Touch Global Mute/UnMute - Single button mutes or unmutes all DCS-

•Proto-Doppler Sound Effects Set Up - Users can configure locomotive for
Doppler Operation, including setting distance points for Doppler start, repeat, and
stop modes
•Independent Volume Control of Engine Sounds, Bell, Horn & Whistle for each
Locomotive
•Control up to 50 different DCS-Equipped Locomotives at one time with multiple
TIUs
•Proto-Effects™ Set Up - User can select individual Proto-Effects™ operations to
be active or inactive, including cab chatter, train wreck sounds, coupler sounds, and
wheel clickety-clack sounds
•Direction Control Set Up - User can set initial individual start-up direction (start in
forward or reverse) for double-heading operations
