Features & Capabilities

Control you entire model railroad from any iOS phone or tablet in this simple to use yet feature rich app! The M.T.H. Digital Command System (DCS) is the most comprehensive and innovative model train control system available. While, at the same time, the easiest to set up and use! You’ll be running your trains in just a few minutes after installing the Wi-Fi DCS app and connecting to any one of several M.T.H. DCS track interface units.

The DCS system is capable of running conventional AC or DC powered model trains utilizing track power controls as well as the ultimate experience of full featured MTH ProtoSound 2.0 or 3.0 and Atlas O® ProtoSound 3.0 locomotives. In addition, DCS is the only cross-platform model railroad control system. When cabled to a Lionel® command base DCS also runs TMCC® and Legacy® engines all within the same app, on the same track, at the same time!! No other system has this capability.

The DCS app is compatible with our entry level system, the DCS Explorer for those just starting their journey into model railroading. For more advanced users, the DCS Wi-Fi Interface Unit (WIU) in combination with the Track Interface Unit (TIU) or, the all new Wi-Fi Track Interface Unit (WTIU) opens up the vast array of features available within the world of DCS. Run multiple trains simultaneously on the same track, control switches and accessories, and immerse yourself in the depth of sound and control features that is Wi-Fi DCS.

Simply the best way to run YOUR railroad!!

User Reviews

Users praise the app for its intuitive interface and the convenience of Wi-Fi control, with faster, more flexible operation than the DCS remote when the system is stable. It can handle multiple engines and devices on one layout, and many users enjoy the premium upgrade's added features. However, persistent reliability issues, bugs, and signal dropouts are common, and updates can introduce new problems. Pricing and upgrade friction, hardware prerequisites, and standard-version limits dampen the experience despite strong potential for improvement.

Pros

Easy to learn and intuitive interface on iOS devices.
When it works, the app provides fast, responsive control via WIU.
Allows running multiple locomotives on the same layout across multiple devices.
Premium upgrade adds more features and customization.
Overall enjoyable and improves the model railroading experience when functioning properly.

Cons

Chronic reliability issues and bugs, including signal dropouts or runaway trains.
Pricing concerns due to the premium upgrade and required hardware upgrades.
Standard version limits to 3 engines and crippled features without the upgrade.
Upgrade path complications and hardware prerequisites, including downloads and Mac compatibility issues.
Post-update regressions where lash ups fail or features stop working.

Recent reviews

After being out almost a year, you’d think the app ProtoCast feature would work with a WTIU.

What the $&$ you buy a $400 piece of equipment and then you have to charge more to use the application that is not right!!!

I REALLY want to enjoy the mth Wi-Fi system. But there’s always bugs and issues. If you polled 100 people about the reliability of the mth system 50% or more would say they’ve experienced issues setting it up. Lionel Legacy system hands down is WAY my reliable. GEESH MTH! WTH!
