At the end of the Model Train Day, I like the new MTH DCS, Wi-Fi APP. The best part for my train room it has brought my three adult children, back into the hobby. They are thirty something.
The android phone on the left has been turned off by the phone company and it still works with the Premium MTH DCS • DCS Wi-Fi and the phone on the right is my every day smart phone. Things in this hobby can be very expensive, but this system is a bargain.
The APP is $25.00 and the old smart phone was free. Wi-Fi Interface Unit is about $160.00. So I have been asking my friends and neighbors to give me their old phones. I usually do not do much in my train room during the summer, but with this new MTH - APP • I have been spending the evenings in the train room running trains with the MTH / DCS Wi-Fi.
The best tip from MTH Electric Trains is on the back cover of all their recent catalogs.
"Visit your local M.T.H. Retailer and run Pro-Sound 2.0 or 3.0 locomotives with your phone."
This is what is working for my Man Cave and Train Room, hooking up with my local hobby shop.
