Running Your New Train:
Your new locomove is pre-congured
with all of the sengs best suited to
replicate the prototype. This means you
can place your engine on the track and
immediately start running with either
a DCC command staon or a 12v DC
power pack.
DC Operation:
Using a standard DC power pack
supporng up to 24v, your WOWSound-
equipped locomove will come to life
as soon as you place it on the track and
ramp up the power to 7.5v and above.
In DC operaon the sound and light
operaons will automacally operate
based on the direcon of travel and the
amount of power applied at the throle.
DCC Operation:
With your locomove address selected,
you can begin moving the locomove
with the throle control, and controlling
the light and sound funcons with the
funcon buons.
Buon mappings for triggering light,
sound, and motor responses will operate
a lile dierently depending on whether
the locomove prototype is Diesel,
Steam, or Electric.
