Is this one of the older Spectrums with the split frame similar to an N scale locomotive?

Consisting two or more locomotives on the same train with the locomotives placed in different locations of the train is also considered "consisting". That is, one locomotive at the front, then another locomotive could be located in the middle, or at the back end of the train. This is also considered consisting. Is that correct, cause Wikipedia doesn't distinguish the locomotives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train#Terminology
Then when I run my dummy locomotives behind my powered locomotives, the dummy locomotives are called DIC (dead in consist)?
Quote from: Ralph S on May 03, 2024, 08:32:18 PMThis brings up a question. The Bachmann (Model 36508) EZ Command Dynamis Wireless DCC System can handle multiple addresses? That is, be programmed with long addresses? Also the Dynamis also can program/control the multiple CV's like other manufacturers.
Inquiring minds would like to know are there any Dynamis users out there?
Quote from: trainman203 on May 04, 2024, 07:12:31 PM"Consist" used to mean the cars in a train. I don't know when it started meaning a bunch of diesels coupled together.

Quote from: Terry Toenges on April 26, 2024, 12:40:04 PMI have pair of identical Bachmann 4-4-0's that I consisted. I only used one address for both of them. One of them is slower than the other even though they are identical so "like" locos aren't always equal in speed.
Quote from: JonJet on April 21, 2024, 07:11:31 AMI have 50+ N-scale loco's...and 5 HO...
All the HO models are Bachmann GP40's and SD40-2's...but I cannot seem to get anywhere using CV 2/5/6 to speed match
I have CV2 at 10 - CV5 at 255
The AccutrackII shows the same whether CV6 is 50 or 150
Am I missing something???
Quote from: John Fed on April 18, 2024, 03:51:28 PMI am building a 2 loop layout on a 4x8 platform with an 18" radius inner loop and a 22" outer loop. I will purchase 2 left hand and 2 right hand turnouts to connect the loops and need help identifying which turnout to buy. My interest is the DCC type nickel silver with grey roadbed. Will the standard turnouts items #44130 and 44131 align properly so the 2 loops connect? Thanks
