MTHTrains ES44AC Engineer's Manual

moving, it will gradually slow to a stop, and slowly accelerate back up to speed in the opposite direction. This is an exclusive feature of MTH engines that we're sure you'll enjoy. You can also change direction the old fashioned way by reducing throttle until the engine stops, flip the direction switch, and then increase throttle again. Either way is OK, we just thought a graceful transition from any speed would be cool. If you switch track polarity too slowly, the engine may stop abruptly ...

You have independent control over lights on your engine Could be the same reason as “One of my lights is out” Is the engine getting power? Check to see if there is voltage on the track or move the engine a few feet in either direction.

DCC is a popular digital command scheme wherein the track power is also a digital control signal. That is, using a DCC controller, you can communicate with multiple engines and have all of them moving at different speeds and in varying directions on the same track at the same time. The power/command signal remains constant and engines are commanded to perform as desired. Your MTH PS3.0E+-equipped engine has the ability to decode and respond to these DCC commands. This allows you to mix and match MTH PS3E+—equipped engines as well as operate them with any other ...
