BOBBYD: Yes, the trailing FA unit is designed to start in reverse, that is, when programming it with the SAME TMCC NUMBER as the lead FA unit. That's what it did, anyway. That's how is ran nicely in the lashup. And the trailing FA headlight was off, that is: the trailing FA's headlight in the NOSE. There is another headlight in the rear of this trailing FA unit, it's next to and on one side diaphragm on the rear. This is the headlight that came on, and should be on if this unit was running in that direction if it was a single unit, but it is not prototypically supposed to be on when this end of the locomotive is embeded in a lashup.

Thanks Rick! So when you do the lashup the rear headlights no longer illuminate? 

We quit purchasing MTH units that need to be "lashed up" because when doing so it drops the Grade Crossing warning!  Their coolest sound feature for guest operators. I'd rather lose the 2 horn blasts than the grade crossing feature...

Lionel needs better quality control, MTH needs better Beta testors!
