Quick Guide to #NMRADCC Consisting:
Basic: Multifunction Decoders share a Primary or Extended Address.
Advanced: Consist Address created by command station and written to CV19 in each multifunction decoder in the consist.
Command Station: Consist managed by the command station. It keeps track of which locomotives are part of the consist.

Some decoders, such as ESU's, allow the user to set the defaults, including the address.
The factory can set one when loading their firmware into an OEM ESU decoder.
Many "experts" proclaim "3" is the only default address. Which is true for a "retail" decoder... but that default isn't absolute.
As always, the devil is in the standards...
Myth: An #NMRADCC Multifunction Decoder's default address is 3.
Incorrect.
Despite what many "experts" like to claim, factory installed decoders may use any valid address.

Multiple Unit Consisting isn't that complicated, is it?
NCE's Power Pro premium starter set. Features the Pro Cab, often mistaken for their Power Cab, and a 5A booster.

CV8 is often used to reset an NMRA DCC decoder.
The process and values required vary by decoder. Some may allow a partial reset.
Remember, a reset may not result in the address being set to "3", as many claim.

ESU's LokSound multifunction decoders can be challenging to program.
They may have literally thousands of configuration variables.

Packet Time Out, CV11, an option in the #NMRADCC Standard for Multifunction Decoders. After loss of the DCC signal the vehicle stops, time determined by CV11.
If you install an energy storage device (aka a "keep alive") adjustments will be needed to prevent the decoder from immediately stopping the vehicle

Inrush currents caused by energy storage devices used with #NMRADCC multifunction decoders can trigger overcurrent protection.
Many boosters react to sudden changes in current, not a fixed limit. A sudden spike will trigger the overcurrent cutout.
