BUILDING A TRAIN

Building a train is an extension of building a lashup described in the previous section by
adding other operating cars to the train. For example, a train could consist of an engine, a
Break- Down Unit and a Freight Car with sounds, each having their own unique engine ID's.
All operating cars have a graphical representation. So, when you build a train with a
crane car for example, the system will pull up the icon associated with the crane car.
For this example, let's assume you have programmed the engine ID's 1, 2 and 3 into the
engine, BDU and freight car respectively using the procedure found on page 54. Now let's
build a train with them and set the BDU and freight car as TRAIN LINK devices so that they
can be easily addressed while running the train.
Using the procedure on page 60, bring up a train info screen by pressing "INFO" after
entering a train ID. Use a train ID that has not been previously built. The following screen
will appear.
Bring up the Train Info Screen
1. PRESS BUILD
Add the head Engine
2. Press the 1 key and you should see the icon for the selected engine
appear.
In our case, a Diesel is selected. A crown appears to indicate this is
the head of the train, along with the horn and announcements icons
to indicate they are turned on for this train. The icons at the bottom
of your touchscreen can be pushed to enable/disable the horn or
announcements for this engine as shown on page 61.
NOTE: The right most engine will always have the crown and can not be a TRAIN LINK. To change the head
engine, you must add an engine to the right of the current right most engine.
If your engine is facing opposite the forward direction of the train, press the "DIR" soft key to change it's
direction.
Add a Break Down Unit to the Train
3. Press the "ADD" softkey to create a new train location
4. Press the 2 key to add the Break Down Unit or press SCROLL to
enter scroll mode, then use the Velocity Throttle to select the BDU
Engine ID#. Press SCROLL again to exit scroll mode.
A link icon will appear by default on top of the BDU. This indicates
3
that the BDU is added to the list of TRAIN LINK devices.
Note: If you wish to remove this as a TRAIN LINK device, press the
TRAIN LINK icon at the bottom of the touchpad to disable. Push it
again to enable it.

Add a Freight Car to the Train
5. Press the "ADD" softkey to create a new train location
6. Press the 3 key to add the Freight Car or press SCROLL to enter
scroll mode, then use the Velocity Throttle to select the FRT
Engine ID#. Press SCROLL again to exit scroll mode.
As with the BDU, a link icon appears by default to indicate this de-
vice is a TRAIN LINK. Toggle the TRAIN LINK icon on the touchpad
to enable/disable it.
Add an Accessory to the Train
7. Press the "ACC" softkey to change the ENGINE ID to an Accessory
ID.
Note that the ACC softkey has now changed to an ENG softkey.
8. Press the "ENG" softkey to change the Accessory ID to an ENGINE
ID.
The accessory can also be a TRAIN LINK to make it more acces-
sible while runinng the train.
Scroll through the train devices
9. Using the velocity knob, turn it in either
direction to scroll through the three train
devices you have added to the train.
You can now change any settings on the
particular device you have selected before
completing the build of the train.
10. Press the "SET" softkey to build the train.
The LEGACY system will now program the system to act as a single
train. All TRAIN LINK devices can now be accessed via the TRAIN
LINK button when running the train.
You can now begin operating your train. Press the TRAIN LINK
button to see your TRAIN LINK devices. Refer to page 28 for
details on using the TRAIN LINK button.
