Double header
The LH100 allows you to assign two locomotives to operate together
as a double header, and then control them as if they were a single
locomotive.
7.1
Prerequisites for creating a double header
-
You must have called up on the same hand held controller each
of the two locomotives that you want to put together as a double
header.
-
You must have given each locomotive a command (that is
changing speed, direction or turning on or off one of the functions)
-
The speed step of both locomotives must be 0 when they are put
together.
You cannot include a non DCC locomotive (address 0) in a
double header! If you attempt to do this you will get an error
message.
7.2
Configuring two locomotives as a double
header:
First call up the first locomotive (for instance locomotive 24), and
move it to the location of your layout where you want to couple it
together with the second locomotive.
Then call up the second locomotive (for instance locomotive 78), and
move it up next to the first locomotive.
In this manner you make sure that you have both locomotives called
up on your hand held controller and that you also have given each of
them an operating command.
Make sure that both locomotives are set to operate in the same
direction.
It is of course possible that the direction arrow for one locomotive
points up and the direction arrow of the other locomotive points down,
since the direction of travel is locomotive dependent.
