andys steam dayz Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 HiIs it possible to double head with different locos ie a P2 loco and an A4 I know they probably never double headed but just wondered if it could be done as they probably have different speeds set to each loco thanks in advance on your thoughtsregards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howbi Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 @andy...........I think the forum will need to know which controller you use ie: Elite or RailMaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 If using RM then double heading is a breeze simply set up by clicking the required locos from a list. According to HRMS this works with any decoder - simple or complex as the information and control is done by RM. If using a controller direct the smartness level of double heading may depend upon the decoders installed, as to what information can be held about a consist and where - i.e. by the decoder(s) or in the controller. To be explained more fully when we know more about your particular situation Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poliss Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Yes you can, but there may be some Speed Matching needed. There are various guides on the interweb that tell you how to do it.You can't speed match with the basic Hornby decoder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
