Taking either motor out and you won't have a way to mount the truck to the frame. Getting rid of all the plastic gears is a good way to go. I use the metal post war set up. Are all programed the same number. If you want the rear engine facing the opposite way of the lead engine, you can get the rear going the way you want and lock it out with the program switch.

Thank you for responding. The units are a nice addition to my layout. I must say would rather have two motors in one unit though instead of two one motored units.
You are correct, I don't use command. I don,t even have the device to use it. Now that you mention taking out a motor would leave me without an installable truck. As a matter of fact, the powered unit would not have any railsounds if it had two motors as the railsounds truck is different. I guess I could put one tailwinds truck in each of the non-powered units...so that I have trucks everywhere they should be.
I am getting the impression that moving motors and trucks around would be more trouble than it is worth. I can try to just not blow the horn in quick succession and see how long it goes. Have you ever heard of issues with these factory lashups? Do you have any other ideas?
