Bill, Are you old enough to have brain fade? Yeah, it's a pain to forget after many months that 353 was consisted to 420 and you had to 0-5-0 353 off the track for some reason only to put it back on the track many months later and wonder.
Still not a good enough reason for me not to consist. It's not hard - even with Digitrax - or to look it up in the manual. Finding the manual might be a challenge, though. Of course it has to be done just right with the lead on the right throttle and the slave on the left knob. And if you call up the loco address the throttle should report that it is consisted (I don't recall if it tells you to what).
