I assume the second engine is facing backwards.

TR (??)   Train number  1 through 9

Eng (xx)  Engine number 1 through 99

R  for rear engine. 

DIR   addresses the fact that the rear engine is facing backwards.   ( this may be the step that has been missed)

Set. 

Check  front head light of front engine should work, Rear head light of rear engine should work, all other head lights are turned off. 

Front coupler of consist should work, Rear coupler of consist should work all others are off.  

Consist should act as a single engine.

Keep in mind that when the consist is broken apart, assign all engines to TR 0

I am using DCS but set up is the same. 

Add Engine, Head, Forward

Add Engine Tail , Reverse

Lash up name: Done

For the second engine I had to set the direction to forward ( Short hood) before I built the lash up.  Don't know why and never had that issue before. Now running as intended.

Thanks.
