LASHUPS

To allow a Train to have more than one Engine, a lashup is required. Building a lashup
allows you to control a group of Engines as one, in a prototypical manner.
In a LEGACY Control System Lashup, Crew Talk, Tower Comm dialog and Warning Sounds
are heard only from the head-end unit. Direction changes are accompanied by reversed
lighting. The front and rear couplers are triggered from the head-end unit or the back of the
lashup automatically. All you need to do is build the lashup according to the instructions,
by using the Icons in the CAB-2 display. The Options of the head end unit automatically
become the options for the complete lashup.
It is still possible to control any of the Engines in the lashup individually. When you issue
a Train command, the individual Engine you were controlling will return to the group. If
there is a difference in speed, the individual Engine will return to the speed of the lashup at
the rate set in the Train momentum.
The name of engine will be displayed in Train Builder along with the graphic representa-
tions of the item in consist, i.e., If you add a Steamer you see a Steamer icon. Accessories
can also be placed in a consist. The main purpose of this is to utilize TRAIN LINK with
accessories (ACC).
The Select and Scroll keys can be used in Train Builder to add engines with ease.

NOTE: When a lashup is created, the lead Engine sets the type of control. So if you
have a LEGACY loco in the head of the consist, a TMCC loco will not move, as it does not
"understand" 200 speed steps. For best results, use same-type engines - LEGACY/LEGACY or
TMCC/TMCC - for lashups.
You can solve this by setting the LEGACY loco as a TMCC loco in the INFO selections;
then you can place the LEGACY loco in the lead position.
Notice when you build a Train, the lead loco sets the operating mode for the Train. Keep
this in mind and remember the limitations for the TMCC locos, since they are not able to
operate in LEGACY mode.

Link up to 5 items per train.

horn output on the newest LEGACY engines. (and some
TMCC/LEGACY combinations such as Super Bass Roar).
If the Horn or Announcements have enabled for a ENG, it
will be automatically disabled for any other device.
The CROWN icon on top of the ENG indicates that this
is the lead engine.
TRAIN LINK items are indicated with a LINK over the
engine icon. Once an item is set as a TRAIN LINK it can
be quickly accessed while operating a train.
