Who’d a thought?
With Kadee and rubber diaphragms, none the less!

It doesn't surprise me. When run conventionally, any locomotives that go at the same speed at the same voltage will run together.

Ummm. No.
I have them tuned in TMCC to run together using a DD Equalizer board in the PA and the EOB in the Atlas. The PAs motors are tied in series as well.
You didn't state you were in command.

Well, actually he did. Check the title of the post, i.e. "MU'd".

Thanks, HW.
MU'd is short for multi-unit, it doesn't automatically infer command, only that there is more than one power unit. I MU conventional locomotives all the time.

No, in command the term "lash-up" is commonly used throughout the "toy train" hobby, while here on the 3RS Forum, we prefer the real railroad industry term "MU'd". Besides, when you are operating your trains in conventional mode, you had better have two of the same speed-ratio locomotives operating together, otherwise one will be trying to go a LOT FASTER than its mate, at the same given track voltage.
