With a lot of trial and error -- among other things, I had to relearn how to set the direction bit, because both these locos run long hood forward -- I was able to set up a consist:
However, I'm still puzzled. While the two locos will run at the same time and in the same direction if I select just one of them, the headlights don't work correspondingly, or maybe I don't understand consists. If a consist is running forward, shouldn't just the forward headlight on the lead loco be lit, with no other headlights lit on any other loco? If the consist is running in reverse, shouldn't the rearmost-facing headlight on the rear unit be lit, with no other headlights lit on any other loco? Both of these locos are using the Bachmann factory decoders.
