Hi Joe: <br /> <br />I attended your sessions at the NMRA convention and I had a follow-up questions for you about DCC consisting. You indicated that you consist three locos, with center loco being a dummy unit equipped with sound. Yo essentially programmed each end unit identically, except that you programmed one to run backwards. You explained a lot of stuff like adding 128 to the cv unit of the loco that was programmed to run backwards. I understood everythjing that you said, but I do not understand why you have to go through all of this effort. I use an NCE system and programming a consist is very easy. I typically run three locos in a consist with the two end locos facing in opposite directions. The forward running loco is typically lit with headlights and ditchlights. Are you using an older DCC system that requires all of the extra programming or do your consists do more than run bi-rectionally?
