Smoke control with lashups

JM J. MangusoOGR Forum Member

I have a question about smoke output with lashups that consist of both steam engines and an electric engine.  I have lashed up a Big Boy along with the Bi-Polar, and have noticed that the smoke control no longer works in lashup form on the remote.  If you address the Big-Boy as the engine # and not the lashup number, the smoke works.  This eliminates the smoke unit being bad.  Seems that the legacy system can combine (lashup) engines that do and do not have smoke units, but the icon for smoke on the hand held will not function.  I am running software version 1.3.  Has anyone else experienced this with their lashups or is it just mine?  Again, all systems return to normal when addressed as their engine #.  Thank you, Jim

I would recommend setting both smoke units to low or medium under Legacy prior to running them in a multiple unit on hte remote. I have 1.51 and upgraded a friends over the weekend. We put together his sd70 heritage unit and my GP 35 and while the GP smoked well his did not unit we dropped it out of the multiple unit arrangement and ran it by itself and only then did it smoke. Might depend on the version of Legacy in the locomotive?

As an update: This seems to be the only way I can get the smoke unit running on the Big Boy while lashed up with the Bi-Polar.  If I am running the Big Boy first with smoke unit on, leave the smoke unit on and lashup with the Bi-Polar, the lashup will have smoke.  The lashup smoke icons will not work though. The only way to stop or adjust the smoke is to use the Big Boy enigne #.  This makes you bounce between tr # and eng # to control smoke & train.  Kind of a glich. The lead enging should set if smoke is available to a lashup or not I would think, even though I have one engine in the lashup that does not have a smoke unit.
