Question on TMCC MU setup for Atlas O TMCC. I have the Atlas O WP F3 units A powered and 2 B powered. They run fine in the lashup. However the red marker lights do not work when going in reverse unless

you choose the A unit only. Any way to get these to work properly in MU mode. Thanks Don

The original TMCC consist programing only allowed the front and rear head lights of the consist to function.  Atlas I believe has the Head light and rear marker lights on the A unit wired together. If there is a rear light on the A unit it also would be wired to the front marker lights if there are front markers. At least that is the way my Atlas GP7 is wired.  I don't know how your B unit lights are wired. but programming for the center B units all lights would be off.  Does the rear B-unit have a front and back head light?  If it does when running in reverse the rear head light should be on all others off.

 

Front A unit TR ## Eng ## F set   Front head light on in forward, off in reverse. Front coupler works but not the rear. A unit rear head light circuit does not work in the consist.

  

Middle B unit TR ## Eng ## set    (all light off)  (both couplers off)

 

Rear B unit TR ## Eng ## R (DIR possibly) set.  Rear head light on in reverse, off in forward.  Rear coupler works, front coupler does not. Rear B unit front head light does not work in a consist.

 

Most likely the marker lights are hooked to the same circuit as the opposite end head light.
