Locomotive basics
Lash-ups (for LEGACY operations only)
I
n the Command environment, building a lash-up allows you to control your locomotive as one
in a prototypical manner. It is still possible to control any of the engines in the lash-up individu-
ally. When you issue a train command, the individual engine you were controlling will return to the
group. If there is a difference in speed, the individual Engine will return to the speed of the lash-up at
the rate set in the train momentum.
To build a lash-up, assign a unique engine (ENG) ID# to each unit. See page 10 for details.
1. Address the train ID# you wish to create or edit, 1 to
99.
2. Press INFO.
3. Press BUILD softkey (button directly under BUILD).
4. Enter the front engine number. It is not necessary
to enter ENG, just enter the #. It will appear in the
blinking box.
5. Press ADD to add the front engine. The engine will
move to the right and the blinking box will be ready
for your next engine to be added.
6. Enter the second engine ID# in the blinking box.
7. Press ADD to add the second engine. The engine will
move to the right and the blinking box will be ready
for your next engine to be added.
8. Add all the engines you want in your lash-up in this
manner.
9. To change the direction of an engine in your lash-up,
turn the Velocity Throttle to move the engine you want
into the blinking box. Then press DIR to change the
direction of the engine.
10. To delete an engine in your lash-up, turn the red
Velocity Throttle knob to move the engine you want to
delete into the blinking box. Then press DEL.
11. To save your lash-up, press SET. Watch the onscreen
prompts and wait until you see the message
TRAIN CREATED.
12. Press CTC to exit to the operating screen.
