Adjust how often a sound plays

Change shutdown time

Change and modify chuff rhythm, compression and tone

Configure and fine tune for various control systems such as: AC, DC, DCC, MTS, Locolinc®, Train Engineer, RCS, Reeds and Air Wire 900

plus many other features you will discover as you familiarize yourself with the system

All adjustments, upgrades and sound loading can be made through the Access Jack. You will not need to take the model apart after installation is complete.
