Stupid question. Been trying to create a lash up with two Atlas Gps with EOB. I get it created and will start up. Issue is the trail engine will still go forward in stead of reverse as created in the lash up. What am I missing?

Thanks for moving it.
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
Try setting them in elephant style, see if they work in the lash up that way.
If not, make sure you are using the DIR button, and have it face R in the lashup building.

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.
