Hi Mike,

We had five trains and six(maybe seven) moters running on the layout
without
any significant problems. Our DCC system could only support five
addresses.

My GP-35 had two moters attached to it, both assigned to the same address.
One of the metroliners had two seperate engines assigned the same address.

Yes, we have a 'setup track' where we assign address to engines. This
requires
all trains in the system to be stopped. Tom can explain this in more
detail.

yes, all of lighted engines were set up this way.

We are a little over-zealous on our photography aren't we :)
