Can run together?

All I can give you is my experience.

When I tied the 2343's rear to a 2353 rear, the 43 pulled the 53,,,,,,,,so I wouldn't have any success doing it. Also i believe the motors would wear out sooner.

When I ran them both in forward with eunits locked out, no problems,,,when I ran them all 4 on 1 eunit no problems either,,,,,,,,,,,,,so go figure.

All 4 make a good looking train, and pulled more passenger cars than I had at that time,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,might try that again this summer as I now have more passenger cars,

anyway, run those beautiful babies.

Now the switch on the bottom pushed forward mean forward,middle is neutral and rear is reverse. The front forward and the second to the rear will they then flow normal?

No, that is an ON/OFF switch for the reverse unit (or E-Unit). Turn the E-Unit on and cycle through forward/neutral and reverse on each locomotive and shut the switch off when it's going in the direction you want. Do that procedure one locomotive at a time.

With all the new electronic stuff we sometimes forget the old procedures we used to use to accomplish things. This will work with any engines. Put the two engines on the track but do not couple them together. Now add cars to the faster engine until it runs the same speed or only slightly faster than the slower engine. If you need to add more cars to the train add them one at a time to each engine always keeping the speed relationship the same. When you are done couple the two engines together and couple the two sets of cars together and they will run together just fine.

Cool trick Al.Would have never thought of this.

For magna-traction, non-traction tire Post War or PWC I typically put the faster engine in front and that seems to work, unless there're just really not on the same page.

The 2343 and 2353 are horizontal Pullmors, which should help this work. But, a horizontal Pullmor with a vertical Pullmor? Never tried that.
