If the loco is to operate in the normal direction press ENTER, otherwise press the
DIRECTION key followed by pressing the ENTER key. This informs the decoder whether
the locomotive is in the line-up facing forward or reverse.

Enter the lead or rear loco number and press ENTER. This sends a command to all
decoders with this consist address to clear the consist address from the decoder. You
can also enter the consist address if you know it. All locomotives that were assigned to
this consist will no longer respond to the consist address.
CHANGING THE LEAD/REAR LOCO
Under some circumstances it is desirable to change which locomotive is to act as the
lead loco of a consist. One of these circumstances is when you want to drop the lead/
rear loco from the consist. It is possible to drop the lead or rear loco from an advanced
consist. If you drop one of these locos you will be prompted for a new lead (or rear) loco.
The new lead (or rear) loco MUST ALREADY be a member of the same consist.
This mid-consist loco is “promoted” to lead or rear status and the consist can now be
selected by that address just as it could be selected by the old lead status.
Just pressing ENTER at the prompt for a new lead loco will clear out the lead (or rear)
loco address “slot” in system memory. If you drop both the lead and the rear locos
without adding at least one in the lead or rear, any mid-consist locomotives will remain in
the consist. The consist then can only be selected by the consist address as no lead or
rear loco is in memory to identify it.
The locomotive that was dropped from the consist will be selected for operation. We
assume that if you drop the loco you will want to move it away from the remaining
consist.
If the same consist is in a cab recall slot that was selected by the dropped locomotive
address, the cab can operate the consist but the cab display will still show the dropped
loco’s address as the lead loco. Reselecting the consist by the new lead (or rear) number
will correct the problem.
