Section 5 Assigning and Using ID Numbers 38
Road ID #4 Santa Fe engines would run. All your other engines in Road ID 3
and 5 would remain silent and motionless.) Now advance one RESET Position
using the throttle (you will hear one "clink"), and press the horn button two
more times to select the second engine. Only the Lionel 208 Alco will stay on,
and all the other Road ID #4 Santa Fe engines will go silent. Try it; it's easy!
Using Road, Engine and Temporary ID Numbers
Together
Since RESET Position #0 is used to select either a Road or a Temporary ID
numbered engine, Road and Temporary ID seem like the same thing. So why
have Temporary ID numbers and what do they really do?
Temporary ID numbers are used to give all the engines in a multiple-headed
train one common ID number. Imagine you want to make up an engine consist
using three different engines, each with its own unique Road and Engine ID
number. When you select each engine you want for the consist, assign it a
Temporary ID Number in RESET Position #2. The Temporary ID writes over,
but does not erase, the Road and Engine ID numbers already assigned. Now
you can select and operate the entire train using the one Temporary ID number.
When you are finished running the three engine consist train, clear the
Temporary ID. Now use each engine's unique Road and Engine ID Number to
operate each engine individually.
For example, say you have three engines, one assigned Road ID number 3 and
Engine ID number 3 (3,3); one assigned Road ID number 4 and Engine ID
number 2 (4,2) and the last one assigned Road ID number 5 and Engine ID
number 4 (5,4). In RESET Position #0, press the horn button three times to
select Road ID number 3. Advance to RESET Position #1 and press the horn
button three times to select engine (3,3). Now advance to RESET Position 2
and give this engine Temporary ID #1. Run this engine up to your train of
waiting cars and couple up. Select engine (4,2), assign it Temporary ID #1 also,
and run it to the waiting train. (Notice that when you select engine (4,2),
engines (3,3) and (5,4) remain silent and motionless) Do the same with engine
(5,4). Now you have three engines, all with the common Temporary ID #1, in
one multiple-headed train. Now you can select this entire train using
Temporary ID #1 in RESET Position #0 and run it on your layout. All other
engines are de-selected and sit silent and motionless in your yard or siding.
