how to switch between the two locomotives in a double traction
-
how to disassemble a double traction
10.1 What is a double traction?
In a double traction (DTR), you control two locomotives of your choice
as if they were one locomotive. The command station ensures that the
two locomotives in the DTR receive the same operating data.
All DCC locomotive decoders are DTR-capable. Configuration of the
decoders themselves is not required. That is to say:
The decoder itself does not “know” that it operates in a
double traction. In this way, a double traction differs from a
multiple traction (

10.2 Requirements for a double traction
- You must have called up – on the same manual control – each of
the two locomotives that you want to add to the double traction.
- You must have given an operating command to each locomotive
(i. e. change the speed or direction or turn a function on or off).
- When being added to the double traction, the speed step of both
locomotives must be 0.
You cannot add a conventional analogue locomotive
(address 0) to a double traction! Any attempt to do so will
result in an error message (
 p. 47).
