10 Double traction (Double Header)
With the LH01 it is easy to assemble two locomotives in a double
traction and to control them as if they were one.
10.1 Requirements to assemble a double traction
Before assembling two locomotives in a double traction, you have to
- enter each locomotive address in the stack of the LH01.
- set the speed step of each locomotive to 0 (standstill).
You cannot assemble a conventional locomotive (address 0) in a
double traction! The attempt to do so will result in an error message.
10.2 Assembling two locomotives in a double
traction
Select the first locomotive (here: the locomotive with the address 1)
from the stack and drive it to the location on the layout where you
want to couple it to the second locomotive.
Select the second locomotive from the stack (here: the locomotive
with the address 3) and drive it to the first locomotive.
Ensure that both locomotives are driving into the same direction.
It is possible that the display of one locomotive indicates ‘forward’
while the display of the other locomotive indicates ‘backward’ since
the direction of travel is locomotive-dependent.
