Front, middle, rear and reverse-direction locomotives
When first operating a lash-up, press TR and its ID#
on CAB-1. Turn the throttle or press any command
button; your lash-up’s RailSounds sound system
starts up and the engines are ready for operation.
If you’ve shut down a lash-up’s RailSounds
system by pressing the 5 button on the numeric
keypad, you can restart sounds by pressing the 3
button.
Generally speaking, any command that your
head locomotive will respond to when addressed as
an engine (ENG) will work the same when when
when sent to its train (TRN) ID. See the earlier
section on sending basic and numeric commands to
locomotives for more information.

Example
The examples on the previous pages illustrate the general pattern for assigning locomotives to
trains.
The position of each locomotive within the train is defined during the train assignment, via the F
and R keys. F means the unit is placed first, at the head end of the train. R means the unit is placed
last. Absence of a F or R means that the unit is placed in the middle of the train.
The facing of a unit in a train is determined by whether or not the DIR key is pressed in the
sequence ending with the SET key. If DIR isn’t included, then the unit is facing forward. If the DIR
key is included, then the unit is facing backward.
To properly configure the sound of a train, assign the head end locomotive first. The rest of the
locomotives can be assigned to the lash-up in any order. If the head engine is a LEGACY locomotive,
we recommend you set the Quilling horn/whistle option for this TRAIN ID#.
