PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Getting to Know Your M.T.H. HO Locomotive
Key Features
Your new HO
is equipped with the exclusive M.T.H. Proto-Sound® 3.0
digital sound and control system. In plain English, this means your locomotive
contains state-of-the-art electronics providing realistic digital sounds, puffing
smoke perfectly synchronized with chuffing sounds and motion, precisely
controlled speed in increments of 1 scale mile per hour, and much, much, more.
Compatibility
The Proto-Sound 3.0 system is universally compatible with track power and/or
signal combinations including Conventional AC (regular AC transformer),
DCC/Motorola (NMRA Digital Command Control), or DCS (MTH Digital
Command System). Simply set your
S 3/6
on the rails, apply any one of these
power/signal sources, and move out! The Proto-Sound 3.0 system automatically
senses the track environment and adapts accordingly.
For the PS 3E+ Engines you
will need to ensure that the DCS/DCC switch is in the correct position.
A vast
array of realistic operation is automatic when the
S 3/6
is run on conventional AC.
You can expand access to features in a DCC environment. Experience the most
your new locomotive has to offer in the simple to use yet powerful world of DCS.
To be clear, DCS is NOT a proprietary version of DCC, as some other
manufacturers offer. DCS is a comprehensive layout control system designed with
one primary goal: make model trains do amazingly realistic things using a simple
and intuitive controller. We put the complexity on the inside, and the fun in your
hands!
Digital Sound
Your Proto-Sound 3.0 (PS3) equipped
S 3/6
contains over 100 individual
recordings. These recordings are played back dynamically at appropriate times to
create a symphony of realism for your ears. Hear the chuffs automatically
intensify or lighten when speeding up or slowing down, listen to the sounds of
brakes squeaking and squealing as you come to a stop, or enjoy the random
conversations of railmen working as your model sits at idle. It's all there and it's
incredible.
Now, your HO
S 3/6
includes the ultimate in realism Proto-Whistle. With this
incredible new feature you have variable control over the steam whistle sound in
your locomotive (when operated in DCS mode with the DCS Commander or
DCS software version 4.0 or greater).
