DCC-DCS switch
Secondly, you will notice on the bottom of your tender, that there is a DCC-DCS
switch. To operate the engine in DCS mode, ensure the switch is set to DCS. If
you wish to run the engine in DCC mode,
ensure the switch is set to DCC.
If you inadvertently leave the switch in DCC it
won’t hurt anything, you just won’t be able to
communicate with your engine with your DCS
system. Likewise, if you leave the switch in
DCS and try to operate the engine under DCC
you may notice a humming coming from your
engine and you will likely notice that your
DCC system’s overload light will be on.
LED Lighting
Gone are the incandescent bulbs. Your new PS3.0-equipped engine has LED
lighting. MTH uses various colored LEDs to simulate the correct lighting on your
engines from the warm, yellow-orange colored light coming out of an old lantern
on your favorite steam engine to the high-intensity halogen lamp on the latest
modern diesels, LED's allow for various, correct colors. Also, they require less
power and do not emit as much heat as incandescent bulbs.
