Clips show an RS11 RS36 C420 lashup arriving into the R&W yard, we then see MLW 4503 depart with a C424/5 C420 RS36 convoy. Clip 1 is an all Lenz Silver convoy, clip 2 is all Zimo MX63/64R. All locos set to the same speed table but there's a difference in response between the 2 decoders. I'm happy with this as the  layout in reality sees only 1 or 2 loco consists.

Yes no sound

Clips taken more as an experiment and prove to friend that I'd actually managed to consist some locos. I've always regarded DCC programming of locos as akin to witch craft! So I've either picked up the dark arts or just cracked JMRI, still finding it difficult to match consists with mixed decoders and or alternative manufactures. My RS27 being the most difficult, it's become a bit of an orphan. The Bowser C630M is well matched to the Atlas locos with Zimo decoders. I'll post a clip of my one sound equipped loco soon, an RS1 with Tsunami set for manual notching .

Nicely done. I model an earlier time period but really like the Alco Centuries, one just can't run them and Steam in revenue service and have it believable.
