When I set up a train for 2 legacy gp9s, everything works good until the set button, then the lead loco headlight goes out. The first time I set up the same combo it worked but now I can't seem to get it back. I have tried resetting the lead loco by deleting it from the train and then going to program and resetting the engine id number. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like you don't actually have the lead locomotive in front. Do the headlights for the trailing locomotive stay lit? Have you tried AUX2 after configuring if all the headlights are out?
well, I turned the pictures around so it looks like they are backing up and now the headlight comes on at least. In my mind the setting would be long hood forward for the right hand position of the f3 that appears in the train build window. Thanks for the tip. Much appreciated.
Long hood forward or not would be dependent on how the engine is wired. You can flip them in the MU configuration screens, but they default to whichever direction is forward normally.
In thinking about your issue, the thought occurs to me that some early Legacy locomotives have issues with MU configurations. I have a Conrail Legacy Lionmaster SD-80 and it's matching dummy. Both have lights & smoke. The lighting, specifically the marker lights, don't work properly in an MU, that's due to the way the lights were designed, they took the cheap route in managing the headlights and markers.
