PREMIER DASH-9
DIESEL ENGINE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This Dash 9 Diesel Engine features a detailed ABS body, die-cast trucks and runs on
O-42 curves. This Premier Diesel Engine contains state-of-the-art electronics with many
built-in automatic features for incredibly realistic operation. Despite these advanced
features, the locomotive is easy to operate with any compatible standard AC transformer
that is equipped with whistle and bell buttons (see the compatibility chart on page
20),
and is compatible with most other 3-rail locomotives, rolling stock, and accessories.
This locomotive is equipped with Proto-Sound 2.0 with Digital Command System
(DCS). This new system will allow you to operate your locomotive in Command mode
(when used with the DCS Remote Control System, sold separately) or Conventional
mode. Conventional operating features are described in the following pages, while the
DCS operating features are covered in the set of operating instructions that
accompanies the DCS equipment.
Conventional Mode operation of this locomotive is
much simpler than operation of original Proto-Sound engines. For your own safety and
that of your equipment, please read the instructions before you operate this engine.
