Need a reverse unit?
 All QSI and MTH After Market Train control Sound systems require a reverse unit.
 
1993-2000:
 All MTH locos that were shipped without ProtoSounds units
  were equipped with DCRUs, and a whistle or horn board.
 All MTH QSI ProtoSounds Train Control Sound Systems do not have a separate DCRU.
The bottom board includes the DCRU feature combined with F & R directional 1.5 Volt Lighting power, Marker Light power, a Power Supply, Auto-Battery-Off, and a Coil Coupler Driver, with a second driver possible.

Find the one that works best for your loco.
