ID# on the CAB-1 Remote Controller, the locomotives will respond together, allowing the
headlight and back-up lights to work together. Remember, you can always address an
individual unit in a lash-up using its ENG ID#.

additional locomotive, or assign new individual ID#'s to any part of the consist.
