. Thanks to
the 2 MM Scale Association in the UK for permission to recom-
mend their site. You may use DecoderPro similarly: go to the
basic panel and make your selections, and go to the CV panel
and see what the resulting values are.
The consist address (CV 19) is a bit less confusing. If CV 19 = 0,
there is no consist address stored and the loco will respond to
either the short or long addresses as dictated by CV 29, above. If
CV 19 is anything other than zero, that will override whatever CV
29 dictates and become the operational name. So, now we have
the option of “Tommy,” in addition to “Tom” and “Thomas.”
Allowed consist addresses are 1 to 127. If the loco is to run in
reverse when it is in a consist (think of locos running back to
back), then 128 gets added to the consist address, making allow-
able values for CV 19 to be 1 to 255, when the loco is in a con-
sist, or zero when it is not in a (decoder based) consist.
