Reply to "MTH Caboose with operating Signal Man"

noswadOGR Forum Member

Susan, the only way I can get the signal man to work with the DCS system to with my iPhone controller app is to operate the DCS system in the Conventional mode by selecting a TRACK. Then it will work, but I'm forced to operate the train in conventional mode. If I leave the iPhone controller in full DCS when I hit the bell button the PS 3 engine starts the bell and the caboose does nothing. The instructions also say you need a transformer with a bell button when operating in the DCS mode so I guess that the DC component from the transformer bell button will make it through the TIU and and activate the caboose. But I have no bell button. I do have the 6-5906 external bell button, but it comes with a warning (see original post) that I don't understand. I guess I'll just hook it up and hope it doesn't screw anything up.
