Reply to "Can two DCS "Powered" locomotives run in tandem using DCS Remote Commander?"

So, I tried the W,B,B, and did not get any double beep.
Is this to be done when the train is under the DCS Remote control, or under conventional control?

Done when a PS2 or PS3 engine is under conventional control.  Probably best to disconnect anything DCS related (such as the DCS Remote Commander) since this can confuse matters by starting up the engine in the shutdown command control state.

Here's the relevant snippet from a PS3 manual:

Presumably you can activate the Horn and Bell.  Can you get any of the W B combo commands to work?  For example firing the rear coupler using B-W-W-W:

ps3 conventional feature activation

What transformer are you using?  There is a list of compatible transformers in the back of every PS engine manual.  Seems I've read some OGR threads about some transformers which generate W and B track voltages that don't "play well" with these W-B sequences.
