Locomotive basics
Lash-ups (for LEGACY operations only)
I
n the Command environment, building a lash-up allows you to control your locomotives as
one in a prototypical manner. It is still possible to control any of the engines in the lash-up
individually. 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.
