The DCS remote commander can run more that one engine at a time but there are some things that you need to be aware of before hand.
The DCS Remote commander will only communicate with engines that are set to DCS ID1. From the factory, DCS engines are already set to the this ID, a TIU setup can also reset the ID back to the factory default. There is also a way to reset PS3 engines to factory without a TIU.
Having two or more DCS engines will work with the DCS Remote commander but both engines will respond to the same commands at the same time. This work best when the engines are configured in a Lash-up facing the same direction. I've tried this and it works pretty good.
You can also run both engines on separate loops with two DCS Remote commander base units and one handheld remote unit. Simply point the remote at the base unit of the track you want to control and only that engine will respond to your commands.
Alternately, you can hook two loops of track up to one DCS remote commander base unit and both trains will run independently on there own track but will respond to the same commands at the same time.
A lash up is exactly my plan. I want to run two Amtrak Genesis locos together ahead of one long train.
