Super Base diesel

I'm not sure but I believe when you create your lash up you set it up which engine does what as far as which engine produces which sounds!

I have four UP diesels; powered E7, non powered E7, Powered Alco and a super base.  Al Legacy engines.

When I program the super base and operate it as a single engine, the sound is great.  If I lash it up with the other diesels, I hear the lash up sounds from the super base as it acknowledges the lash up.  When I start moving the lashed up set, the super base is quiet.    Am I doing some thing wrong?

After the engine lash up is complete and running, stop the train and try to hit the rest button on the cab 2. I had the same issue with two SD 45’s one with sound the other nothing. After the reset both had engine and brake sounds no horn, as it should be.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell. This video may help

@Dave in Surprise - Maybe I'm missing something but wouldn't it make sense just to program the Superbass unit with the same ID as the 'lead' engine, rather than operating it "as a single engine"?  (and ensuring that the Superbass 'sound' button is ON of course)

The you get sounds from both.

In the new models you can physically switch off the sounds in each unit so that takes care of that.  Not sure what vintage his engines are.

Yes. I’m just going by my own experience with the recently released Legacy CP FA-2 ABA set where IMO the Superbass is meant as an extension of the lead unit’s sounds, but as I said, maybe I’m missing something.

The only catch is if it’s a newer rear A when put into a train it assumes forward position so you must set as a different ID then set the train up that way

In my case the CP FA-2 B unit is the Superbass unit - not an 'A' unit, but I appreciate what you're saying.

Perhaps @DaveinSurprise can clarify the product numbers of his engines and whether his Superbass is an 'A' or 'B' unit?

As mentioned, your solution may depend on the version of the engine (and if you want sounds from both engines).
