The hardware upgrade (from PS1 to PS2) is a kit you have to buy and install or have installed. Once that hardware kit has been installed, you then download the sound set from the MTH web site and upload it to your locomotive using DCS.
Just to clarify, as I am what you would call a noob at O scale things, any how, thes upgrades are off the website, and downloaded to the dcs system correct?
The smoke keeps going as long as you keep it filled with smoke fluid. You can adjust the smoke volume to high, med, low, or turn it off completely using DCS.
Depends on the train. For an MTH Premier steamer, I usually use half an eyedropper full. If you run your steamer without enough fluid, the wick will scorch and smoke output will diminish until you have the wick replaced.
Who do MTH work, I want to get one of there HO GS-6's but I want it to have the ability to pull up a grade, I hate it when they only work on flat track
I have issues with the headlight blinking...that isn't even realistic, and given the powerful level of miniaturization in our hardware production capacity, I think the manufacturers could do better with the swinging mars light. :P
the way you have the information in the decoder is WRONG! I don't know if they call them CV values in o gauge mth but in a digitrax DCC decoder you go into the software and you change the settings to mars light and it does not go all the way out it changes in intensity. I will put up a video of my diesel that has the imitation mars. The way yours is set up it is a STROBE NOT A MARS!
Me too! My HO model trains stopped running and it's got to be the powerpack or the terminal re-railer! I've checked for short circuts and other problems, but to no avail! That's why I want some O-scale trains, but they are much to expensive!
Due to problems with the last few newly bought Lionel locomotives that I got, I no longer buy their product. So, I stick with MTH Premier locomotives as I'm now up past 50 without a problem out of the box.
WOW, she is huge!!! Thats 0-72 i think, and MTH says this beast can run on 0-42??? Have an O-42 loop??? Id love to see what it looks like on that tight radius..
i have the old antek one from 1961 verry rare

toytrains1 2 years ago
You decoupled the train on purpose through a remote? Wow thats awesome.
Rivelution 2 years ago
@toytrains1 - you stop the train first, then you draw the loco away from the carriages. That way, the decoupling doesn't look accidental.

not to be rude or anything but the decoupling just runined the whole video no offense

they don't even flash, it is a continuous intensity light bulb that moves in a figure 8 and give it the appearance of "flashing" at some angles.
