Finally the train IDs are entered in the properties of the related engines or trains. The
properties of each engine and train (see chapter 3, “Train ”) provide special options to
specify an individual train ID for each engine or train. This is displayed in the following
image.

Diagram 86: Specifying the digital connection and the train ID of an engine
In this example the train ID 27 is assigned to the steam engine with the digital address
2345. Of course digital address and transponder number do not have to be identical. Especially
in case of multiple units or if the transponder is mounted on a car rather than an
engine it is very useful, that decoder addresses and transponder numbers are treated independently.
For trains an additional option, Use ID of Engines, is provided. If this option is set then
the train is not associated with an own train ID. Instead the IDs of the engines, that have
been assigned to this train, are used. If the train is running and the ID of one of its engines
is detected then this ID is mapped to the running train.
The screen displayed above might slightly change its appearance dependent on the actual
capabilities of the connected train detection system. For some train detection systems
you will not explicitly have to assign a train ID, instead there is a kind of autocapture
mechanism, with which train Ids can be automatically read from a passing train.
