My recommendations
I don’t like to try to remember what addresses I’ve used for my
locos. The older I get, the harder it is to remember what I had
for dinner yesterday, let alone these technical details.
I use the entire cab number for my loco address. This works,
as I only model American railroads and all loco numbers have
between one and four digits.
For my friends who model railroads with more than four digits
in the cab number, I suggest that you use the same four digits
all the time – the first four or the last four, but the same four.

Cab with a long address of 04.
