Makes me wish I could help, but I'm still in the dark ages with my Variac, 19-B 
transformer and TAB plate-set rectifier; still all one DC block for now.  Dave

  Subject: {S-Scale List} Dual decoders in the same locomotive


    
  Gentlemen and (if we are so lucky) Ladies;

  I am going to install a Digitrax DH465 into my 343 steam rebuild.  It has the 
heft and function outputs I need.  Plus it is already on the workbench.  This 
locomotive will be programmed to 43.

  I am looking at the MRC 1908 sound only decoder.  The question is programming.

  Do I program both to 43?

  Do I program the motor decoder to 43 and the sound decoder to, say, 93 and 
then permamently consist the 93 with the 43?  Do I reverse this and consist the 
motor decoder to the sound decoder?

  How does one program a dual decoder locomotive?  Am I restricted to 
programming-on-the-main?  Should I have a way to electrically isolate each 
decoder and then use the programming track?  If I isolate them, should they 
both be 43?

  Help!
