All locomotives of the double-heading can now
be run using just one controller from the address
of the "basis-loco"
Using the same procedure other locos can be put
together for double-heading.
Whilst in operation the indication in the display
will show a "+" in front of the basis-loco. Additio-
nally, the speed display will automatically be
changed to percentage.
7.10.2 Retaining double-heading
locomotives
A double-heading can only be called up and con-
trolled under the address of the "basis-loco".
If a traction locomotive is called up under its own
address, then the indication "MUL" will be dis-
played instead of the speed setting, but without
direction indication. The direction of this loco can
nevertheless be individually changed, although at
the beginning of the double-heading run all locos
will be set to the same direction.

The special functions (f1 to f4) of the coupled up
locos in double-heading can still be operated
under their own individual addresses indepen-
dently from the basis-loco. It should be noted
here though that this is not always the most sen-
sible operation.
or
If locos with differing number of speed levels are
coupled together into a double-header, it is
recommended that the loco with the lowest num-
ber of speed levels be selected as the basis-loco.
The speed of the locos with more speed levels
will then be more suitable for the basis-loco. If,
for example, a basis-loco with 14 speed levels is
coupled together with a loco with 28 speed
levels, the decoder with 14 levels will raise its
speed one level per notch of the controller, whilst
the loco with 28 levels will raise its speed 2 levels
for each notch of the controller.
In the opposite case, i.e. the basis-loco with 28
speed levels, then the loco with 14 levels must
alter its level by half the value for every notch of
the controller. This is not possible though.
Details can be ascertained from the instructions
of the appropriate decoder.

ADVICE
The direction can only be changed if the
complete double-heading remains unal-
tered. The speed level of the basis-loco
must be set at "0"
IMPORTANT
For trouble free operation of several loco-
motives in double-heading, it should be
ensured that all commonly driven loco-
motives should be set to the same mini-
mum and maximum speed in advance.
ADVICE
The settings for the minimum and maxi-
mum speeds must be set in accordance
with the corresponding perameters of the
loco decoders.
