Two hand controllers
« on: April 08, 2022, 12:21:53 PM »
Is it possible to have two hand controllers with half your engines on one and the other half of the engines on the second controller?

sure, you manually add locomotives on each, so add the one you want on one HC and then add the ones you want to the other.

Note that you will only be able to control and consist locomotives that are loaded on the same HC.

Thanks Bill!
Would that work if you delete engines on one hand controller to add them to the second hand controller?

I'm not sure I understand the basis of the question, but...
You can have all of the locos on both controllers, or you can have some on each, and some on both.

If you have locos on one controller that you do not want to be there, use the remove product option under tools to remove the locos you do not want from the HC.
Note: This will not affect the way the LMs are configured.

If the loco is not loaded on the HC it cannot be controlled from or consisted on that HC.
