Double traction 45
Both locomotives can now be controlled simultaneously by turning the
rotary knob. You can stop or change the direction of travel as if you
were controlling one locomotive.
You can now control the assembled double traction as if it was one
locomotive. The two locomotives receive the corresponding operation
command one after each other.
When operating a double traction, the rotary knob
(increasing or decreasing the speed step, changing the
direction of travel) affects both locomotives simultaneously.
The keys that turn functions on and off affect only the
locomotive whose address is shown on the display.
If you want to change a function of the second locomotive operating in
the double traction, you must select this locomotive using the 'Esc'
key.
9.4 Assembling locomotives with different speed
steps into a double traction
You can also add locomotives with different speed steps to a double
traction. In this case, the speed step corresponding to the speed is
always displayed.
Example:
The locomotive with address 24 has 28 speed steps; the locomotive
with address 78 has 128 speed steps. If you see the maximum speed
step of 28 when displaying locomotive address 24, you will see speed
step 128 after switching to locomotive address 78, since that is the
maximum speed step for locomotive address 78.
9.5 Disassembling a double traction
To remove locomotives from a double traction, proceed as follows:
Call up one of the two locomotives operating
in a double traction on your manual control.
