Building a lash-up

T rainMaster Command Control allows you to couple your Command Control-equipped
locomotives together, forming a multiple unit lash-up. Just like with the real railroads,
lash-ups allow you to pull longer trains and climb steeper grades. You will find that the lighting
operates prototypically—the lead unit's headlight and interior lights are illuminated when the
train is in forward, and the rear unit's headlight and interior lights are on when the train is in
reverse. For more information, refer to your TrainMaster Command Control manual.
To build a lash-up, assign a unique engine (ENG) ID# to each unit. Arrange the units on
the track and couple them together. The Command reverse unit must be set to RUN/FORWARD.
