MULTIPLE UNIT ENGINES:

Unit or two Powered "A" Units. All configurations are completely functional as packaged, however, additional matching engines may be avail-
able to create other arrangements. Please follow the instructions below to ensure proper operation of the engines. The connections between the
engines allow the electronics of the Leading "A" engine to control its two motors and the motors of any engine following (the "B" Unit and the
Trailing "A"). The engines were designed with multiple motors for superior pulling power.
