The lead locomotive in an m.u. consist must first be selected
on the other side of the locomotive controller in order to set up a
double or m.u. locomotive consist on one side of the locomotive
controller. This locomotive can be added to the consist with the
button
.
After that you can select the second locomotive and add it to the
consist as described above. Make sure that the last direction of travel
set on locomotives is the same as the preferred direction of travel for
the consist before adding them to the consist.
Under "Name" a name of your choice should be
assigned to the consist.
The consist is shown with its name in the locomotive list. When the
consist is called up, the image of the lead locomotive will be shown.
The button
can be used to remove any locomotive from the consist.
In order to avoid damage to the locomotives, a consist should consist
only of locomotives similar to one another with similar settings for
maximum speed (VMax) and acceleration and braking delay.
Note: When a consist is being run on one locomotive controller, one of
the locomotives in that consist can be called up on the second
locomotive controller. The latter controller will then always show the
corresponding status for the locomotive called up. However, if the
speed for that locomotive is changed, it will change the actual speed
of that locomotive in the consist. This allows you to run a locomotive
away from a consist without it being deleted from the consist.
