Comments: The digitally controlled features on this HO scale German-prototype passenger set may make North American-prototype modelers a bit jealous. The locomotive and all three passenger cars feature realistic lights, sounds, and other user-controlled effects.

Using a Model Rectifier Corp. Prodigy Advance Digital Command Control (DCC) system, I raised and lowered the front and rear pantographs of the Deutsche Bundesbahn E10.3 electric locomotive. I also opened the coach doors, using functions 3 and 4. The locomotive and coaches feature different German language station and conductor announcements.
The set also includes a multiMAUS digital controller, 110-volt power pack, 14 straight track sections, and 12 Roco R3 curved track sections.
We also ran the firm’s HO scale Class 212 switcher. The switcher includes couplers that opened when I pressed Function 1 on our DCC throttle. You can watch a video demonstration of both products on the Web at www.ModelRailroader.com.
