I will be using this in conjunction with the Z-1000 (100 watt) power supply to run my Proto 3.0 Swiss Crocodile loco.
Question:
Will I be able to access all Proto 3.0 features on my new engine with this controller?
Will the barrel plug from the 100 watt "brick" plug into the controller?
THANKS in advance!

Which 3.0 features will it access? There are quite a few buttons on this device - surely some features will be available? 
NOTE: I have a relatively small layout and see no need to purchase the full-blown DCS System for ONE loco!
The Remote commander will do:
Bell On/Off
Sound trigger (activates a (random?) sound from the list in the engine (Idle sounds anyway)
Power Up/Down
PSA start (use Dir button to cycle thru the sequence)
Speed up/Down in 1 SMPH increments or faster if held down
Whistle
Coupler (then hit + for front or - for back)
Volume (+ or - to step up or down)
Direction (cycles Fwd, Neu, Rev, Neu as normal)
It cannot set relative volume of sound types (Whistle vs bell vs crew talk, ect)
It cannot call a specific sound byte (idle or engine)
It cannot set smoke volume or turn it On/Off
It cannot set max speed, accel or decel rates
and much much more. DCS has so many things in it I can't possibly remember them all.
My question was for the DCS Commander Control BOX, and NOT the remote.
