I recently reloaded the sound file for a older PS 2 5volt engine to resolve a runaway speed problem, would the restore function on the updated DCS have done the same? Does restore work the same? Also, how do I power up the TIU using the auxillary power port, would the battery recharger do it? Thanks

Joe,

No, they are two completely different things. You swapped in a new engine sound file, the Restore function replaces the contents of the DCS Remote.
how do I power up the TIU using the auxillary power port, would the battery recharger do it
You need to use a 1-1.5 amp AC or DC power supply. The battery charger won't do it.
This and a whole lot more is all in "The DCS O Gauge Companion 2nd Edition", now available for purchase as an eBook or a printed book from MTH's web store site! Click on the link below to go to MTH's web page for the book!
Barry, thanks for the reply, what voltage adapter do I use to power the TIU? Thanks again.

In the future, you can get answers quicker using The DCS O Gauge Companion.
Most answers can be found by zeroing in on them via the detailed Table of Contents, or doing a word search of the ebook version in Adobe Reader.
Barry,
When you're right, you're right. Add me to the list of converts for your book. I currently don't have a DCS, I only set up trains for Christmas. Maybe that will change the more I know and understand the benefits of the system.
