What type of consisting is best?

There are several ways to use consisting, so how do you choose the best type for you? We will explain each type of consisting and its pros and cons in this video. Check back next week and we will show you how to set up Advanced Consisting with Tsunami2 Digital Sound Decoders

Thanks for your videos. They are a great help in understanding DCC and a great reference source. 🚂

Thank you again George for a great explanation on the consist.
This may take some time for me to get my head around. Regards Gary 😊

Check back this weekend, we will be going over how to set up advanced consisting with Tsunami2.

Great video! now will you cover how to run the light on a pusher locomotive? You know like if an engine is shoving the rear facing forward, the rear light should be on for safety. i just cant seem to get that to work even using advanced consist. Thanks

Keep up the good work. Your videos are great even if most of the time I hear “ eep op beep beep”

I'm new at dcc, this was some what helper. but i'm still trying to find out about the cv's. I would like to set two locos together and run them in cosist. One has the Econami decoder the other Tsunami.

Greetings from Colorful Arvada Colorado, I am a newby buying DC and DCC locos from ebay. I purchased 6 blunami from Soundtraxx. I also have Digitrax DCC system. Question; Can I do consisting with Tsunami2 and Blunami Decoders in the same consist with the Digitrax System?

[@SoundtraxxDCC]

Yes, Blunami decoders will act just like Tsunami2 in DCC so they will run together well. You cannot however run the Tsunami2 with Bluetooth.

I have a thought. Would it be possible for you all to put a program in that would run your engine around a program track and set the speed steps for me so that all the engines I have are programmed to run at the same speed . Like I put the train on the test track ,I hit a button on something like jmri and it would run the engine around going through all the speed steps and stores that info . Then I take the 2nd engine and do the same then I hit a button and the program that would adjust all the speeds to match the 1st engine. I don’t know the more I think about it I’m not sure how it would work. I’m sure you would need something like a round test track with 22” or 18” radius and some sort of detection block . Then the program would have to know scale feet and then it could time the loco knowing that at 5 or 50 mph would take x amount of time . All I’m saying is spending all that time programming all of my locomotive to work at the same speeds so that I can run anything with anything is a lot of work. I think I’m looking for a cheat code. I hope that made since.

An advanced consist is more realistic.
