Sign - Welcome

  I am not sure what you are asking. Do you want to set up the locomotive so the long hood is normally forward? If that is the case then add 1 to whatever is in CV29. If you just want to change direction then just push the direction button on the controller. If you want to just consist in the reverse direction with another loco that is done when setting up the consist with your controller. Read the manual that came with your DCC system for consist setup.

 Be careful with CV29. MTH doesn't use the Standard.  They have their own little world.

From what I have found out the NDOT (normal direction of travel) option normally found in CV29 is not supported by MTH yet.  This is part of their limited DCC implementation.  Supposedly an upgrade option is coming to provide more complete DCC support.
