Soft key question on a DCS remote using TMCC.

Bob,

AX1 - does exactly whatever it does when used with a Cab-1. This may vary among TMCC engines.

AX2 - does exactly whatever it does when used with a Cab-1. This may vary among TMCC engines.

SPD - switches between 32 and 128 speed steps for the TMCC engine. Use 128 for engine's with K-Line's speed control or TAS's EOB speed control.

MOM - sets a TMCC engine's momentum to light, moderate or heavy.
REL - sets the speed steps as relative rather than incremental. Relative works better with the TMCC crane car.

Thanks for the info Barry...I'm going to play around with those functions and see what happens.

I find the Soft Keys can be confusing. I keep this cheat sheet on the layout control center. 

Soft Keys

SCS (sound coupler slack)

SO1 (sound one, usually 1 horn blast)

LIN (lights, interior)

Sl1 (probably a crew talk sequence)

SFS (sound, forward signal)

SRS (sound, reverse signal)

SXS (sound crossing signal)

S02 (sound two, usually crew talk)

LND (Ditch light auto or off)

STW (train wreck sound)

DOD (odometer)

DCH (chronometer)

SSU (extended start up)

SSD (extended shut down)

The DCS O Gauge Companion 2nd Edition has a complete list of soft keys in Appendix D: Soft Key List, on pages 207-208.
