@Arnold D. Cribari posted:Peter, you're light years ahead of me as a model railroader. After only having DCS for 1 month, I have never run 2 or more locomotives simultaneously on DCS, and am reluctant to try that until I can be shown how to do it by someone in person. I have Mr. Broskowitz' book, am sure he explains multiple train operation on DCS, but still prefer to hold off trying it at this time.
Your video shows the beauty of DCS. Arnold
Arnold , I run two on the double over and under outer main loop that is a16 ×5 layout and one on a single articulated figure eight over and under.
Pretty simple actually . If using the remote start both engines up ........the remote will let you toggle between two engines automatically just by using the select button........keep each consist well apart to begin with ........start one consist rolling .........select and operate the second consist to rolling...........after that, don't fall asleep 😉
If you lose track ( 😁 ) and panic with one consist closing in way to close to the other ...........I just hit the reverse for the offending engine first .......and then go to the other engine and slow it down or hit the reverse for it too.
Easy to get rolling again........ just reverse that order
I never hit the red panic button.
