Check 1: Front head light on, all other head lights off. Push the DIR button, Front head light off, rear/tail head light on. Unit train should move in Reverse. Push the DIR button again Unit train should move Forward. Check for wheels moving the wrong direction.
Check 2: Hit Front Coupler button. Only the front couple of the unit train should work. Hit the Rear Coupler button. Only the Rear Coupler should work.
On occasion I have set the Momentum of each engine before creating a Consist. They should all have the same momentum setting.
Done with the Consist/Unit train, assign each engine to Train (TR 0). TR (Train No. 0), ENG Engine Number ##, Set, a horn/whistle will blow.
