DCS/DCC Switch

Your MTH PS3.0-equipped engine has a DCS/DCC selector switch (located on the 
underside of the tender in steam engines). 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.

Programming Track (for DCC operation)

Your MTH PS3.0-equipped O Gauge engine can function on Programming Track 
outputs from DCC systems. Most DCC systems can support the current requirements 
of the engine as long as it’s not started up. If you plan on powering up the MTH 
engine on your programming track, you may want to consider a DCC Programming 
Track Booster.

Loading Engine Firmware

Your new MTH PS3.0-equipped O-Gauge engine affords you the ability to load Engine 

firmware. Loader version 2.30 or later will allow you to do this. Please refer to the Loader 

program’s instructions for more details. So, as MTH releases new features or updates you 

will be able to take full advantage without having to ship your favorite engine anywhere. 

All new updates are available on our website. MTH will make announcements as they are 

available. Not all updates will apply to all engines. 

NOTE: Requires a TIU w/ version 4.20 or later firmware, and requires Consumer 

Loader version 2.30 or later.

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.

Modes of Operation

The following pages have detailed descriptions of the 4 different modes of operation:

-Conventional AC

-Conventional DC

-DCS [MTH Digital Command System]

-DCC
