Last night I finally sat down (well, stood up, really...) and programmed my first consist!
Speed matching my Speed Demon Athearn GP38-2 to my Slow Poke Bachmann GP40 was certainly an interesting experience. Top voltage on the GP40 is 240 while the 38-2 is set to 138! Setting the mid voltage was the trick to make it all come together in the end without a bunch of bucking. Now I need some more cars to make it look like I NEED at least two engines to pull the train. Unless I steal the passenger coaches from my Hudson, I only have 14 cars to pull.
