[Accrs-ho] DCC Question

[ACCRS HO Scale]

ACCRS Members

This might seem to be a simple question and I might just be asking something that would occur naturally if I programmed my DCC consist correctly.

Question:  Suppose that I have 2, 3,4, or more DCC locos with sound decoders.  Now suppose I want to run 2, 3, 4 or more in a consist.  Will the consist pick up sound on all the locos or just on the one that is programmed as the lead loco.  I think it would pick up all those with sound but I am not sure.  For a long train, the sound locos many be in the lead and could also be in a helper set further back in the train as helpers. 

I think all the sound units would emit sound.  Probably only the lead unit would sound a horn or bell.  Can any of you answer my question.  It just may depend on how you program each loco.   

Thanks,
Dean
