Consist of two Piko engines BB 460000 - part 3 (success on lighting)

 

This follows the prior post that you can find here. In this part, I'm focusing on the running of the consist on the layout, and more specifically on the front and back lighting.


Running the consist

To get the correct lighting, there are a few things to properly set on the ECoS:

  • Running direction
  • F0 - Head-lights for BB 460054
  • F9 - Rear-lights for BB 460054
  • F21 - Consist function
  • F22 - Head-lights for BB 460050
  • F23 - Rear-lights for BB 460050

Therefore, if the consist is running in the direction of the BB 460054, I need to set 3 functions: F0, F21, and F23 (F9 and F22 being disactivated)




It works well:
