I have a Paragon Series BLI AC6000CW–not the Blueline model–which I can access certain sounds using a Quantum Engineer module. It’s kind of cool. I figure that MUing with any other DC non-sound locomotive is not going to work. Will it work with say an Atlas Gold series sound equipped locomotive? Or can you only MU with another BLI? Or not MU it at all?
On DC it should work fine with another QSI equiped loco. But when you blow the horn both will sound.
On analog, I dont MU engines because both will need a certain voltage imput to remain alive. DCC is better for this work.
If you issue a horn command, both will blow unless one of the engines are configured as a helper with the horn disabled.
Regular analog engines are mu’d until the throttle cannot feed em all lots of times in the past. But they cannot run with DCC engines due to voltage problem mentioned before. Starting a DCC at about 8 volts already has the analog one going half speed.
