Section 5 Assigning and Using ID Numbers 36
To break up your Engine Plus Group:
•
Do a RESET
•
Select each engine using its ID number
Move the engine where you like. You break up your trains the same way you
did using Temporary ID's, as described above. Engine Plus was actually turned
off when you grouped your engines using the bell button.
You can also use Engine Pus to break off groups of engines from your consist.
For instance, if you had been using extra engines to help your train over a
grade, you can break these engines off as a group and move this helper group
off to a storage track. For example, let's say your two lead engines are helpers
on you five engine consist. Simply select the first two engines using their ID
numbers and make both of them Engine Plus locomotives. Use the Bell Button
for 3 seconds in RESET to select these two engines, disconnect them from the
consist, and move them off to the storage track. Go back and do another
RESET and select the remaining three engines using their ID numbers and
make them Engine Plus locomotives. Use the Bell Button for three seconds to
select this group of three engines and pull your train away. The previously
stored helper engines will De-Select when the Bell Button is pressed, since they
are no longer armed for Engine Plus.
You can arm all engines in a group with only one RESET by selecting the
lowest ID first while holding the horn down for 1.5 seconds, selecting the
second lowest ID while holding the horn button down for 1.5 seconds, and so
on. When all engines have been armed for Engine Plus, press the Bell Button
for three seconds to select this group of engines.
Using Road and Engine ID Numbers on Large Layouts
Road and Engine ID numbers were designed to help you select engines on large
layouts quickly and easily. When you have many engines, selecting engines
with high ID numbers by the process described under Temporary ID numbers is
very slow. Imagine having to press your horn button 25 times to select and run
engine #25. It would take a lot of time.
