Loco lash up

[Ashwanth]

Hi

Can any of you please tell me how to lash up locos (mu'ing)-say an EU07
with another?

What does different values in "node -1 0 EP08-008 dynamic PKP\eu07 ep08-008 4E1 0.0 headdriver 3 0 enddynamic" mean?

Regards,

Lash up? You mean: how to have 2 locos joint and drive them as one?

Values in node -1 0 EP08-008 dynamic PKP\eu07 ep08-008 4E1 0.0 headdriver 3 0 enddynamic mean the following (variables are underlined):

EP08-008 - name of the loco to be used i.e. by the startup program
PKP\eu07 - folder with textures of the loco
ep08-008 - texture file name (the default extension is .bmp so if the file is ep08-008.bmp there's no need to add the extension)
4E1 - set of phisical parameters to be used with certain type of a loco (a reference to .mmd, .chk and .t3d files i.e. 4E1.mmd); 4E1 is for EP08, 201E for ET22, 4E for EU07 old type, 303E for EU07 new type etc.
0.0 - initial speed of the loco
headdriver - sets cabin where you start (headdriver or reardriver)
3 - type of a coupler
0 - value of passengers; to be used only with cars where instead of '0' you can put 'x Passengers' (where x is a number)

Thanks.Ya, I did mean how to have 2 locos joint and control them from one cab.

BTW,can we have such a situation-2locos at front+coal wagons+1loco at
back(banker or helper) and control all 3 with one cab?

You can join 2 or more locos only if they are meant to be placed one by another. So you can't control 3 locos when 2 are at the front and 1 is at the end of a train. You can control only these 2 front locos.

To do so you should put 7 as a coupler type.

node -1 0 EP08-008 dynamic PKP\eu07 ep08-008 4E1 0.0 headdriver 7 0 enddynamic
node -1 0 EP08-008 dynamic PKP\eu07 ep08-008 4E1 0.0 headdriver 7 0 enddynamic

So you can't control 3 locos when 2 are at the front and 1 is at the end of a train. You can control only these 2 front locos.

You are wrong. If we set the "7" coupler in all wagons from front to the end of the train (with the loco that will push the train) it will work.
