Locomotive ID situation with two identical engines on layout simultaneously | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Walter BellOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Hi,

I just purchased two identical used KSC 3V PS2.0 F units. They are both the lead (master) unit. I would like to use them at the same time as a lash up. I don't have them yet, but am curious if the DCS system will recognize them as two separate locos or if there will be an ID conflict between them. If the latter is there a way to assign a different ID to one of them?

As always, suggestions are greatly appreciated!

2 separate locos.

#1 when adding engines in DCS, only have 1 engine powered or on the track when adding

#2 after adding both engines as separate engines, then build the lashup.

Vernon,

Good suggestion! I will take that approach when I get the locos. I have a isolated track for just that purpose,

Thank you!

@WalterTBell - ‘KSC’ - Is that the Kansas Southern City? (Just teasing you)
