    From the official manual:
    Multiple traction of course means using multiple locomotives.

    I could not find any info about the second switch because it's label is obstructed.

    I've never noticed these switches. Do any of the activities require setting them?

    [QUOTE = "Tomas9970, gönderi: 96852, üye: 8679"] Resmi el kitabından:

    Tabii ki çoklu çekiş, çoklu lokomotiflerin kullanılması demektir.

    İkinci anahtar hakkında herhangi bir bilgi bulamadım çünkü etiketi engellenmiş. [/ QUOTE]
    Bilgilendirme için çok teşekkür ederim.:)

    Not that I knew. The BR146 (and many other locos) has the same switch, it is necessary for trains with a cab car as well.

    anyway, I am trying to make BR 182 to work with dosto control car, any advice as to what switches do I have to activate/deactivate? Cos right now it is showing power in Taurus but no power in dosto car, even though I can raise and lower pantograph, I cant close the circuit breaker in the control cab :)

    edit: I am genius, figured it out lol, thanks anyway :D

    an additional question - if I have two locos of the same type, does it matter if I select ZMS or ZDS BR120? or is it different if one pulls while the second pushes from the rear and if both are at the front (got a timetable thing where two BR182s are pulling the train)?

    I don't think it should matter. As for having a remotely controlled loco at the end of the train, that's not going to work as they need to be electronically connected through the coupler.
