Digital Command Control (DDC) Mode, enables the control of the train through shortcuts placed on the bottom right corner, instead of pushing or pulling the corresponding analog lever in realistic CAB mode. DCC behaves like a model railroad controller. Not every locomotive is fitted with these devices.

controller knob. Click LMB and drag it
clockwise on the dial to move forward. Dragging the dial so
the arrow points upwards will stop the train. Dragging the
dial anti-clockwise will move the train in reverse. Clicking

[[File:PANTOGRAPHS.jpg|right]]
Click LMB on the Pantograph button on the right
of the throttle to raise and lower them or press
the ‘End’ key on the keypad. If the locomotive
has multiple pantographs subsequent key/button
presses will raise them individually or together before cycling
back to all down.

== Reverse Train Facing (ALT + C) ==
[[File:REVERSE TRAIN FACING.jpg|right]]
If your locomotive has two cabs, or two control
desks in the same cab, you can click LMB on the
Reverse Train Facing button to change to the other
cab. This can also be done (from Cab Interior View
only) with the key combination ALT + C.

== Bell (B) ==
[[File:BELL.jpg|right]]
To activate or deactivate the locomotive bell, Click
LMB on the bell button or press the “B” key.

== Ditchlights (;) ==
[[File:DITCHLIGHTS.jpg|right]]
