Rugged Rails 2-8-0 Steam Engine
Additional Features Accessible With The DCS Remote
Control System
(Additional equipment required)
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 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 2.0 trains but does
not turn off the power

or inactive, including cab chatter, train wreck sounds, coupler sounds, and wheel clickety-
clack sounds

forward or reverse) for double-heading operations
