Question about DCS

RO Ray of sunshineOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

I recently asked MTH about the possibility of using their DCS remote control system, but also being able to let me grandson use a Remote Commander Set, he's too young to understand all the controls on the DCS remote, and whats to push all the buttons. I know you can NOT use both control systems at the same time, but thought that some type of toggle switch could be used to switch between the TIU and the Commander. Has anyone done this and if so, how or what did you use to toggle between each system? The fewer the buttons, the easier it will be for little ones to operate trains on grandpa railroad. 

 

Thanks

Ray,

I know you can NOT use both control systems at the same time

Where'd you hear that?

 

Actually, you most certainly can use both together, and no additional switches or anything else is required. Simply do not supply power to the DCS Remote Commander receiver, rather, run it in passive mode.

 

For additional information about this and a whole lot more, refer to "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!
