Yes please ! That ' d be great ! <| sep |> Pretty much , depends on the content though . I can cruise through Challenge mode Lincoln Tunnel Checkpoint with a 301 k toughness Banshee build with no issues at all . Take the same build into LexRC or the other harder missions and I get stomped . I think it ' ll all even out soon , but I haven ' t gotten the patch yet WT 4 1 . 4 PS 4 still <| sep |> Will not win 9 this year . <| sep |> If some Ch 9 staffer lurks here , this is their new reality show of 2018 . <| sep |> free chest silly <| sep |> Hope the panthers and warriors get smashed on . <| sep |> So awesome to hear that ! !! I call kratom my miracle Plant ! !!<| sep |> Damnit , I would have watched this . <| sep |> Consisting locos together is incredibly simple , even moreso with NCE they also use the superior ' advanced consisting ' method . The challenging part is getting their speeds to match . I fit all of my locos with TCS decoders because their BEMF algorithms are superior to everyone else ' s , in my opinion anyway , and this makes speed matching much simpler . What is BEMF , or Back ElectroMotive Force ? Without going all technical on you , it ' s a physical phenomenon that can be used to infer how fast an electric motor is rotating . TCS use this to create very predictable loco operation right out of the box . When you adjust the throttle to speed step 1 , the decoder applies a baseline voltage to the motor . If no BEMF is detected the decoder knows this means the motor is not turning , and it supplies more voltage . Still no BEMF ? More voltage . It repeats this process until the motor begins rotating at essentially the slowest , stablest speed it possibly can . It will do this regardless of the loco model , the manufacturer , new loco , old loco , unloaded or pulling 20 cars up a hill none of it matters , it will move at SS 1 with absolutely zero effort on your part . This is why I prefer TCS decoders , as the hardest part of speed matching getting the locos to move off reliably is done for you . From there it ' s simply a matter of dialing in CV 5 max voltage and CV 6 mid voltage until your locos are travelling at as close to the same speed as possible . Despite my unofficial TCS propaganda , you can still speed match with other decoders ! It just takes a bit more fine tuning to dial in the allimportant starting speed . Many basic decoders don ' t offer BEMF at all , which can make effective speedmatching incredibly challenging . Anyhoo , here ' s some videos demonstrating what can be done . SS 1 operation with a TCS decoderY 4 HdIZJVRn 0 This was the very first run of an old Atlas Classic loco , ' new old stock ' probably sitting on the shelf for 510 yrs before I bought it . Time lapse of a consist at SS 16 BtAqd 8 pNE All locos powered and speedmatched . Long freight with distributed powerRmib 6 gVAgt 2 m 42 s This type of train is a true test of speedmatching ! Six locos , all powered and consisted , spread out across a long train . You can have poorly speedmatched locos in a normal consist and it will still generally work , you ' ll just have a lot of wheelspin and greater potential for derailments over turnouts and crossings . When the consist is spread out like this however , it doesn ' t take much for the coupler slack to be pulled out tight or pushed in hard , causing a derailment in no time at all . nbspA few general tips Use your slowest loco as your baseline that all other locos are speedmatched to . You can always slow down a fast loco , but you can ' t increase the top speed of a naturally slow one . Got some locos you want to permanently consist , such as an ABBA set of F units ? Assign them all the same DCC address and they will behave as if they ' re in a consist even though they aren ' t . Just program the rear cab unit so that its direction of travel is switched CV 29 , your PowerCab can do this for you in the basic motor control setup procedure . It ' s worth checking that your locos are still speedmatched every now and then . Over time some may speed up , some may slow down . Try to break in a new loco before you speedmatch by running it for at least 10 mins or so at a low speed , a medium speed , and a high speed , in both directions . Recheck after several hours of normal operation . If your loco operates at a different speed in reverse than it does forward , check your decoder ' s manual for a forwardreverse trim setting or settings . Unfortunately these aren ' t mandatory under the NRMA standards , so not all decoder manufacturers include it . If you ' re unlucky enough to find a directionallyimbalanced loco and the decoder doesn ' t have adjustable trim , you ' ll have to resign yourself to only speedmatching whichever direction you ' re most likely to use in a consist . Hope that helps
