Introduction To DCS
DCS Remote Control
This is the device you will use the most when controlling your trains. It communicates
with the TIU via a 900MHz signal in much the same manner as your cordless phone
communicates with its base. The remote does not talk directly to the locomotive or
accessory you are controlling.
