Hi Folks
Looking through the O gauge auctions last night I discovered I have a question. What is the difference between MTH protosound and PS2? I have DCS system and do not understand the difference (compatability, runability, or soundability) Right now I run DCS PS2 on a pair of engines and also several conv. engines.
Thank You
Tommy

I believe Protosound is merely a sound system. PS2 includes DCS.
Protosound or PS1 is essentially a set of sound features in a locomotive such as squealing brakes, cab chatter, and passenger station/freight yard effects. The only "command control" feature is the ability to fire the remote coupler on an engine via the whistle button.
PS2 is a fully operation command control program which as you know from DCS give you the full range of control functions.

ProtoSounds is a sound system, yes, but is also a comprehensive if not complex operating/control system for running in conventional mode. The Z-4000 transformer was designed & built to optimize the ProtoSounds/PS1 experience via easy access to the rather lengthy PS menus.
Thanks very much for your quick replies. Just what I needed to know.
When I was a kid my Uncle and friends would take the ACL Orange Blossom Special from Columbia SC to Jacksonville for the Gator Bowl and then on to Miami for the Orange Bowl. I was too young to go and probably would tell everything that happened. Anyway I was looking for the engine that would pull the passenger cars. Good memories for me.
Dont want a PS1. Want a PS2.
