I have a Lionel N&W 1218 A w/ the TMCC Aux Water Tender. I have to admit, I have just stopped trying to lashup TMCC equipped engines. DCS, no problem. TMCC, I've never been able to get it to work. The Engine # for the 1218 is "18". What would happen if I also set the tender address to "18". I'm thinking that the rear coupler wouldn't work, but maybe the backup light would. Am I on to something?
Worse case I can continue to drag it around "dumb".
