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.

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
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.
