Wanted to get a post going sharing photos of the USA Trains Big Boy. This has to be the most impressive Largescale model manufactured to date. Most recent install of Protosound 3 in USA Trains Big Boy. (Using updated sound, USA Trains smoke units, 4 speaker installed in tender). Hancock Long-Bell 3-Chime Whistle Recordings. Hancock later changed the bell design to the step-top type in which the chambers are externally visible. All of the 1942-44 4-6-6-4s, the 1944 4-8-4’s and the Big Boy’s were fitted with the later design when constructed. By the end of steam relatively few of the flat-top whistles remained in service.

Proto-Sound 3.0 equipped locomotives can be controlled in command mode with MTH's patented DCS or any DCC compliant command control system. If you use the MTH DCS, (digital control system), you will enjoy the most advanced and user-friendly programming capability and operations on the market. You can still use a standard DCC or DC controller and operate most features. While the user won't have access to all of the incredible features of Proto-Sound 3.0, independent control over the locomotive is possible. This means you can continue to use your existing DCC controller to independently control your other DCC equipped locomotives in addition to your Proto-Sound 3.0 locomotive on the same track at the same time.
When using a standard DCC controller, the following Proto-Sound 3.0 locomotive features are accessible:(F0) Headlight on/off (F1) Bell on/off (F2) Whistle/Horn on/off (F3) Start-up/Shut-down (F4) PFA initiate and advance (F5) Cab Light on/off (F6) Engine Sounds on/off (F7) Volume low, med, high, off (F8) Smoke on/off (F9) Forward Signal Sound (F10) Reverse Signal Sound (F11) Coupler Slack Sound (F12) Grade Crossing (F13) One-Shot Doppler on/off (F14) Extended Start Up (F15) Extended Shut Down (F16) Labor Chuff (F17) Drift Chuff (F18) Smoke Volume low, med, high (F19) Single short whistle toot (F20) Coupler Close (F21) Feature Reset (F22) Idle Sequence 1 (F23) Idle Sequence 2 (F24) Idle Sequence 3 (F25) Idle Sequence 4 (F26) Brakes auto/off (F27) Cab Chatter auto/off (F28) 0 With The Digital Command System Featuring: Quillable Whistle With Freight Yard Proto-Effects Unit Measures: 18 11/16' X 1 9/16' X 2 1/4' Operates On HO track with 18' Radius Curves Just months before Pearl Harbor, the American Locomotive Company delivered the first Big Boy to the Union Pacific Railroad. The UP's Department of Research and Mechanical Standards had designed the locomotive for a specific task: to pull a 3600-ton train unassisted over the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. While the Big Boy is often cited as the biggest steam locomotive ever built, in fact it is not. The Norfolk & Western's Y6 and A, the Duluth Missabe & Iron Range's Yellowstones, and the Chesapeake and Ohio's Alleghenys were all in the same league, and some exceeded the Big Boy's weight and power.But in the battle for hearts and minds, the Big Boy won. Perhaps it was the name, simple and direct, scrawled on a locomotive under construction by an Alco shop worker. Maybe it was timing, as the Big Boys hit the road just when America needed symbols to rally around. Maybe the UP's publicity department just did a better job of telling the world what great equipment they h...
