Section 5 Assigning and Using ID Numbers

Position #2, and press the horn button three times. (You can make your ID
number any number you like, but we suggest using a low number since you will
be pressing the horn button that number of times to select the engine.) Once an
engine has a Temporary ID Number assigned you will be able to select it from
RESET Position #0. Every time you do a RESET you engine always comes up
in RESET Position #0. So when you first enter RESET, you can select your
engine by pressing the horn button the same number of times as the number
you assigned (three times with this example).
Let's say you have three QSI equipped engines on your layout and you have
assigned them each a Temporary ID number, numbers #2, #3 and #4. To run
engine #3, do a RESET. As soon as you hear the "ding" telling you three
seconds have gone by, turn the power up and you are in RESET. Press the horn
button three times. Engine #3 will come to life, ready to run, while engine #2
and engine #4 remain silent and motionless.
When you assign an engine a Temporary ID Number, the engine will remember
that number indefinitely, until you clear it or assign the engine a new number.
Temporary means the number is easy to assign and erase, not that it disappears
when the power is shut off. Temporary ID numbers are cleared using RESET
Position #3. Once the Temporary ID number is cleared, the engine will power
up whenever you enter RESET.

This approach works well if there are no other engines on your powered track block except the engines
in your consist. Otherwise, the use of the All Select command will select all the engines, even the ones
on side tracks that are not part of your consist. The next approach, "Engine Plus," solves this problem.
Using the three engines in the example above, do a RESET and select engine #2. Bring it out to the
main line (engines #3 and #4 are de-selected). Now do a RESET and select engine #3. Bring it out and
couple it with #2 (engines #2 and #4 are de-selected). Next do a RESET and select engine #4 (engines
#2 and #3 are de-selected). Bring it out and couple it with engines #2 and #3. Your engines are in place
and ready to run. (continued on the next page)
