I am thinking about buying a MTH diesel locomotive with DCS.
I need to know what features can be used in conventional mode.
Don’t have a DCS system yet.
Thanx![:D]
Hi Carl,
These should be common all PS2 engines in conventional mode:
- Engine sounds
- Cab chatter
- Speed control
- Proto-Couple – uncouple anywhere on layout by use of horn and bell buttons
- FYS or PSA – freight yard sounds or passenger stations announcements.
- horn
- bell
- smoke if it has it
All of these should be able to be controlled with the horn and bell buttons.
Hopes this helps
