The DCS Commander works with ALL PS2 & PS3 locomotives. The engine will need to be factory reset in order to have the proper DCS ID to operate with a DCS Remote Commander.

Let's please clarify this... Per the DCS Commander manual, pulse code is superimposed on flat-line DC. It was my understanding that early 5V Proto-2 locos should NEVER be run on DC. Any MTH Techs want to weigh in on this issue?

Also since the output is DC, I imagine that it's not advisable (or even possible) to wire a DCS commander in "passive" mode. If it's wired in active mode, it becomes the primary voltage supply to the track, and cannot operate TMCC/Legacy on DC. So if you want to run Legacy AND DCS locos at the same time, you're back to using a TIU and "dumbwheel" remote mad
