38270 D&RGW Mogul 288 w/Tri-Mode Sound & Smoke, Battery R/C (G-Scale)

.   

Tri-Mode Sound, An Industry First from PIKO!

Steam Locos with smoke and digital sound, factory-equipped for operation on: 

• DC Track Power
• DCC Digital
• Onboard Battery Power with R/C 

For easy Battery R/C operation, insert (10) AA rechargeable cells (not included) into the battery clip in the tender. Non-rechargeables will give poor performance and are not recommended! 2800 milliamp-hour rechargeables are readily available and should give over two hours of run-time with smoke on and sound at full volume.   
Or, connect standard 14.8V or 18.5V 3400 milliamp-hour rechargeable lithium battery packs, available from various G-Scale retailers, to the industry-standard JST connector socket, for many hours of run-time. 14.8V packs should give all the top speed you need. 18.5V packs can give a bit longer run-time.
Control speed, direction, emergency stop, bell and playable whistle with the included PIKO R/C Pocket Remote.

Both DC and Battery operation offer a wealth of automatic digital steam sound features, like exhaust chuff, air pump, and more. Bell and whistle can also be activated by track magnets, such as PIKO #35268. KeepAlive^® technology keeps everything running smoothly even over dirty track on DC/ DCC power, and provides standstill sound in all three modes.

DCC operation offers even more features, plus all the benefits of TCS WOWSteam Sound. Choose from numerous bells, whistles, exhaust chuff sounds and more! Audio Assist^® easily guides you through programming without the need to memorize CVs. Sound choices made on DCC also remain in effect on DC or Battery R/C operation.
