Need some help please.
'Been awhile since I messed with consisting on my Lionel SD70ACe's.
I have NCE DCC with "advanced" consist.
Running forward, no problem.
Can't remember how to get the third unit to run facing "backwards".
I know it involves adding 128 somewhere, just cannot remember the sequence.
Anyone help me?
The Lionel manual wouldn't make tp paper insofar as DCC is concerned.

Rusty, you gave this to me a year or two ago, I wasn't smart enough to write it down��

Did a search, too lazy to go down to the basement:

As I recall...(programming on main)

 

For running "Elephant Style"

Select 1st locomotive address

Select CV19

Choose a consist address of 1 -127

(Optional)

Select CV50

Set CV50 to 1 (this sets up lights for the lead locomotive)

Exit programming mode

The horn should sound indicating the locomotive is programmed.

 

Select 2nd locomotive address

Select CV19

Set to the same consist address as the first locomotive

(Optional)

Select CV50

Set CV50 to 3 (this sets up the lights as the trailing locomotive and also shuts down the horn and bell)

Exit programming mode

The horn should sound indicating the locomotive is programmed.

 

Both locomotives (facing the same direction) should now operate under the chosen consist address

 

---------------------------------------------------

 

For back-to-back operation, set CV19 to 128 + chosen consist address on the second locomotive.  The second locomotive will operate in reverse of the first locomotive.
