I will be getting an HO scale married pair electric Multiple unit set. Car A will be powered while car B will be the dummy. I will install a Digitrax SDH164D decoder in car A and a function only decoder in car B. I will also give an address to car B. Can regular Digitrax decoders be MUed with function only decoders? I plan on doing this so when car A is going forward the tail lights on car B will come on. Are there other ways of setting up this type operation?
It depends. What particular locomotives are you getting? Are we talking F-units?

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
If they are always going to be together, then just give them the same address and program the light functions accordingly. From experience get a TCS function decoder. The Digitrax one inexplicably does not have directional light effects.
