While conventional mode operation of a Proto-Sound 2.0 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
hand held 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.
