More than one loco per address

[Potrail2378]

Hi,

If I wanted to do a 'direct comparison' between my TTS Mallard, TTS Flying Scotsman, and TTS Hogwarts Express, with their respective coaches, could I give them all the same address without anything going wrong? Eg, burning out motors, strain on the controller, etc.

Thanks in advance.

You could.

Or 'subject to your controllers capabilities' configure both locos with their own current addresses as a 'consist' and then both locos would respond in unison.

Just for information, if you give two [or even more than two] decoders the same DCC address, then each decoder is totally oblivious to the presence of other decoders using the same address. Thus there is no adverse interaction between them and the controller.
