I own a vision line Centipede AA set. As per the instructions I have both units programmed with the same id. This is required so the stereo sound works correctly. The rear A unit defaults to running backwards as i would expect. Tonight I tried to lashup a legacy steam engine with the centipedes. I quickly found that this would not work. The problem was with the centipedes. The rear A unit defaulted to run forward when in the lashup. I would have assumed that it would have kept its default to running backwards.
So, in order to run the centipedes in a lash up I would need to program the rear A unit with its own id so I can properly set its direction in the lash up.
Why wouldn't they keep its default setting of running backwards?
Has anyone else tried to lash up another engine with a AA set where the rear unit normally runs backwards?
