M.T.H. HO

SD70ACe/SD70M-2

Diesel Engine

Congratulations! You've just purchased the most

feature-rich and technically advanced HO diesel

locomotive ever produced! This highly detailed

model includes a broader range of features than

you’ll find on any other HO scale diesel, including

operating flashing ditch lights; smooth

performance from a three-scale-mile-per-hour

crawl to full throttle; “cruise control” for steady

speeds regardless of curves, switches and grades;

built-in decoders for DCC and the M.T.H. Digital

Command System (DCS); and a full range of

sounds recorded from a prototype Union Pacific

SD70ACe. If you’re looking for modern motive

power that’s accurately detailed, smooth running,

and a great deal of fun to operate, it doesn’t get

any better than this.

QUICK START GUIDE

Of course, you should read your manual over before running your

engine. But if you just can’t wait, choose how you want to run below and

enjoy!! Now, after a few minutes, shut her down and read through your

engineer’s guide.

Please note, when making setting changes in DCS or DCC, such as address,

please wait a minimum of 5 Seconds after removing power to insure the settings

are stored in the engines memory. Reapplying power in less than 5 Seconds may

result in losing the setting changes.

UNPACKING YOUR ENGINE

Removing and Unwrapping Your Engine

Carefully remove and unwrap the model on a soft surface. By nature, models

with high levels of detail have some small fragile parts.

Carefully remove any foam packing pieces that may be surrounding the model.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Getting to Know Your M.T.H. HO Locomotive

Key Features

Your new HO Diesel Engine is equipped with the exclusive M.T.H. Proto-

Sound® 3.0 digital sound and control system. In plain English, this means your

locomotive contains state-of-the-art electronics providing realistic digital sounds,

precisely controlled speed in increments of 1 scale mile per hour, and much,

much, more.

Compatibility

The Proto-Sound 3 system is universally compatible with track power and/or

signal combinations including analog DC (regular DC power pack), DCC

(NMRA Digital Command Control), or DCS (MTH Digital Command System).

Simply set your Engine on the rails, apply any one of these power/signal sources,

and move out! The Proto-Sound 3.0 system automatically senses the track

environment and adapts accordingly. No hidden jumpers, switches, magic wands,

or programming required!!! A vast array of realistic operation is automatic when

the Engine is run on analog DC. You can expand access to features in a DCC

environment. Experience the most your new locomotive has to offer in the

simple to use yet powerful world of DCS. To be clear, DCS is NOT a

proprietary version of DCC, as some other manufacturers offer. DCS is a

comprehensive layout control system designed with one primary goal:

make model trains do amazingly realistic things using a simple and

intuitive controller. We put the complexity on the inside, and the fun in

your hands!

Digital Sound

Your Proto-Sound 3 (PS 3) equipped Engine contains over 100 individual

recordings. These recordings are played back dynamically at appropriate times to

create a symphony of realism for your ears. Hear the diesel roar automatically

intensify or lighten when speeding up or slowing down, listen to the sounds of

brakes squeaking and squealing as you come to a stop, or enjoy the random

conversations of railmen working as your model sits at idle. It's all there and it's

incredible.

Your HO diesel includes built-in realistic horn sound effects, including forward

(two blasts) and reverse (three blasts) signalling and crossing signal sounds, all

available with one-touch control from a DCS controller or through any DCC

controller capable of accessing up to F28.

M.T.H. HO SD70ACe & SD70M-2 Diesel Engine

Digital Control

In standard analog DC mode, your model still operates under digital control. The

PS 3 advance speed control system converts track voltage into digital speed

commands. Your model will run smoothly and consistently at any speed

regardless of load, hills, or curves. If you are a DCC user, you'll quickly learn to

appreciate the precision of our speed control and linear speed curve. DCS users

will enjoy the added benefits of controlling speeds in increments of 1 scale mile

per hour displayed on DCS controllers or easily changing acceleration and

deceleration rates independently without any discussion of bits or bytes. To be

clear, DCS is NOT DCC.

Lights

As you read on, you'll notice there are no instructions for replacing light bulbs in

your diesel. That's because there aren't any. We use specially designed and

controlled LEDs to create realistic lighting effects that occur automatically.

Again, NO PROGRAMMING!! Just come to a stop and watch as the headlight

dims automatically in accordance with rule 17. Of course, as you pull away, the

headlight returns to it's fully bright, yet warm, glow. We even included a light in

the cab so the engineers can see to do their jobs!

More…

In analog DC operation, just flip the track polarity or direction switch at any

speed and watch your Engine gradually come to stop, turn on the appropriate

directional lighting, and smoothly accelerate back up to speed. No other HO

locomotive has features like these. There are so many more things to learn and

enjoy about M.T.H. HO Engines, we could write a book. But, that's no fun. So,

if you haven't already done so, flip to the Quick Start Guide and let's run your

new engine!!

Installing Couplers

Your locomotive comes equipped with remotely controllable scale proportioned

operating Proto-Couplers that can be triggered from any DCC controller or the

M.T.H. DCS Digital Command System. Both the front and rear couplers can be

individually triggered. These couplers will not work in conventional operation

with magnetic arms. We have included a set of magnetic arms that can be

installed into the coupler head if desired for aesthetic purposes.

For those who prefer standard mechanical couplers, we've also included a pair

inside your locomotive's box. Follow the steps below to remove the remote

control couplers and install the mechanical couplers in their place.

Installing The Mechanical Couplers

If you prefer the mechanical couplers over the remote control Proto-Coupler,

remove the Proto-Couplers by following the steps detailed above and then install

the included mechanical couplers or any other Kadee-compatible couplers by

following the steps below.

Lubrication

Using light machine or household oil, apply a very small amount to all axles

points as shown.

Your gearbox is properly greased at the factory and probably never needs service

however, if you run excessive hours pulling heavy loads, it's a good idea to

remove the 2 screws from the gearbox cover and re-grease using M.T.H. gear

grease or equivalent.

FEATURES AND OPERATION

Now, for the fun stuff! Your new M.T.H. HO Diesel Engine has more features

and operating capabilities than any HO engine ever built by any manufacturer.

We're going to walk you through everything she does in general but, you'll

probably find a few we forgot to mention on your own.

Modes of Operation

There are 3 modes of operation with different levels of features accessible in

each. We refer to them as analog DC, DCC, and DCS. Here's a little more

explanation before we get into the features of each mode.

Analog DC

This is when there is nothing connected to the rails except a conventional DC

power pack. These power packs generally have at least one variable output

controlled by a throttle of some sort and a means of reversing DC polarity on

the track to change the direction of your engine.

DCC or Digital Command Control

DCC is a popular digital command control 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 them all moving at different speeds

or moving in opposite directions on the same track at the same time. The

power/command signal remains constant and engines are “commanded” to

perform as desired. M.T.H. is new to DCC but, we recognize it's importance to

many HO operators. So, we loaded our engine with more DCC features easily

accessible to the operator than any HO engine ever built previously. You DCC

guys are in for a real treat!

Please note, when making setting changes in DCS or DCC, such as address,

please wait a minimum of 5 Seconds after removing power to insure the settings

are stored in the engines memory. Reapplying power in less than 5 Seconds may

result in losing the setting changes.
