Wabash, go easy on me here. I will take a looksie at the DP power screen next time I link. It gives all of the same pert. info as the fire/ice, IFC screens on single consist trains. I believe that the DP will actuate when you actuate on the lead (I will put one in emergency and try actuating and see if the brake cyl press. drops as rapidly on the DP as the lead) As far as dynamic on the DP there are the options "more traction" and "more brake" from the mode menu. Now as you know I am not qual to move cars. So the way I check to see if the rear consist loads is by using the option "move to rear" and select "more traction" this operates the rear consist independantly and allows me to see on the display if the rear consist loads by amps (dash 9) or by TE (mac) all the while the ind. is still set. So to answer your question with my limited knowledge, yes the DP is dynamic brake capable and can be independantly operated from the lead either in traction or brake (dynamic).
