You also have to walk through the consist and set-up each unit appropriately. Your choices are: <br /> <br />trailing <br />leading, short-hood forward <br />leading, long-hood forward <br />isolated <br /> <br />Back in the dark ages of field-loop dynamic braking, you had to set that up, too. But I haven't seen that in over 30 years. <br /> <br />Units can not supply electricity for traction to each other except in a few specific instances where they are so wired. "Slug" units are units with traction motors but no prime mover, and take their electricity from a mother unit via heavy cables. <br /> <br />Everything you need to make the trailing unit do work is available from the lead unit: power, dynamic braking, sanding.
