4.8 Multiple Unit [MU] or Consist operations

It is not uncommon to see two, three or even four diesel locos pulling in consist
at the front of a train. Sometimes, there is a locomotive added in the middle of
the train or at the end of the train to give "helper service" to the head end loco-
motives. This is called Multiple Unit Operation or MU operation. With DCC,
each locomotive is separately controlled. But in the case of MUing we would
like to have more than one locomotive address controlled by a single throttle to
simplify MU operation.
Your DT602 uses universal consisting to make MU operations simple and easy
to do. This is the most flexible and realistic method of MUing available. You
can add any locomotive to your MU, no matter what kind of DCC decoder
is in your loco. You can even add an analog loco to your MU.
You can add a locomotive to an MU in either orientation and in any physical
location in the train. When you send commands to the MU you use the address
of the TOP locomotive to control the entire MU and the command station
handles the rest of the commands to the other locomotives in the MU. As the
