On very large layouts, with more than 4 power blocks, you can set your TIU's up as if they are one under the super mode. This will transfer the engines from one block to another without the user having to do anything but run the trains.

 

 

The Western Reserve Model Railroad Museum uses 3 TIU's in super mode. Their layout is over 2,600 sq feet with 12 power blocks and 3 main lines.
