Well done. My Lionel runs just fine using this system. Of course, it's a 2013, 616 Flying Yankee with Proto-Sounds 3.0. I could access most of the options using my old Lionel CW-80 transformer. But it really was a pain. It took me a while to stop pointing the DCS remote at the train and program myself to point it at the MTH Remote Commander. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks chuck. Glad that this was helpful
I recently picked up an MTH Blue Comet with Protosound 2.0 (8.4 volt) and have been using it with a Z-1000 conventional transformer. I have tried unsuccessfully to get the station sounds or other sound effects to work with the Z-1000 so I thought Id try this DCS remote.
I picked one up today for $75.00 at a local train store but when I connected it up the same way you did I could see that the tracks was getting 18 volts but the locomotive did not respond to the start up button. I did note in the instructions that the DCS remote only works with PS 2.0 that uses the 3 volt battery, not the 8.4 volt which is what mine had. I recently replaced it with the 8.4 volt BCR (Capacitor). Do you have ant thoughts or suggestions on this?
Should I return it or just keep it until I get a compatible MTH 2.0 or 3.0 protosound locomotive? Thanks.
I would keep it for a little while if I were you
So im new i have mth engine ...lionel fastrack and lionel 80 watt transforme will this system work with lio el transformer and fastrack to run mth engine ..engine is g.e. dash 9 with proto sound
No. I just mentioned that the system only works for MTH
That's weird, that it doesn't work with MTH steam.
I was told that there’s a switch on the engine that should fix the problem
Interesting, because we have like one PS2 locomotive. Everything else is PS1 or TMCC. Maybe this is a way to try this out.
I am aware
I had the same problem ,put the loco on the track press these buttons one at à time sound, direction,the midle of the toogle forward and reverse the loco Will start
Working on a follow up video tutorial on the situation right now;)
