RailKing F-3 Diesel Engine

Additional Features Accessible with the DCS

Remote Control System:

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:

miles per hour increments via a thumbwheel control and allows operator to

set maximum speed and acceleration/deceleration rates

engine outputs and matches smoke to locomotive speed

headlights, marker and interior lights, and ditch lights

• One Touch Global Mute/UnMute-Single button mutes or unmutes all

DCS-controlled locomotives’ user-defined actions, including sound, lights,

and smoke

through locomotive speaker during operation

• Proto-Cast-Allows users to play audio recordings through locomotive

speaker during operation

• Proto-Doppler Sound Effects Set Up-Users can configure locomotive for

multiple TIUs
