When consisting an F-series of engines, I am curious if the B-unit is treated identically to an A-unit.
i.e. F7 ABBA .... I assume that all four powered engines get their own DCC decoder. Anything different?
Thanks!

You can set up the units different ways

Hi Mike
I have put a separate decoder in each unit. However my WP 914A and 914B have the same address (9141, the final "1" representing the "A" in the locos number ) and are treated as one unit. However at any time I can back the pair up to the programming track but with just the "B" unit actually parked on the isolated section of track I use for programming and then change its address back to "9142" and then move the "A" unit away and use the "B" in a different consist. Naturally this can be done with a 4 unit set. My programming track is part of my lower yard and is switched to and back from a PC for programming.
Cheers Nigel
