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.

Basic DCC Operation:

Your MTH PS3.0-equipped engine takes full advantage of DCC's capabilities. Below
are the basic commands you'll want to know to get started running quickly. Please refer
to the Advanced DCC Operation section of the manual if you want to dig into the full
capability of DCC.
Each engine type may have a slightly different F Function list. This depends upon
whether it's steam, diesel, or electric and whether it has smoke or not. Please refer to
the table of Default CV Values for your particular engine's F Functions.
A note about enabling/disabling F Functions in DCC - Depending upon the DCC
system you have you may need to toggle a particular F Function on then off to actually
get it to enable. Some DCC systems do this for you automatically and others allow you
to set particular F Function buttons to either be set for momentary or toggle. Please
refer to your DCC control station manufacturer's manual for more information on how
they handle F Function buttons.
Your MTH PS3.0-equipped engine's default short address is 3. So all you have to
do is power up your DCC system and call up Locomotive 3 to begin.

Start-Up/Shut-Down

F3 – Pressing this twice (toggle on then off) will start up your engine. When you apply
DCC power your MTH PS3.0-equipped engine will remain dark and quiet. Since you
likely don't want to run the engine this way, simply press F3 twice to start your engine.
The lights, sound and smoke (if equipped) will come on.
Note – Instead of having to hit F3 in DCC all you have to do is advance the throttle
and the engine will come alive with sound, lights and smoke (if equipped). F3 will still
function as described above, however.
To shut your engine down, press the F3 button twice. This will play the shut down sounds
and then turn the lights and smoke and sounds off. As long as there is DCC power still on
the track the engine can be started up again by pressing the F3 button twice.
