The latter is real easy, the two locomotives have to be coupled together with no cars in between them.
Then you have to set the 2nd locomotive to MU and leave it in MANUAL mode.
Switch to the primary locomotive and use the Ai Road or any other mode and the 2nd loco will mimic those actions giving you additional power.
As you give the lead locomotive instructions it's controls will just move to mirror the lead locomotive.
If the engines are directly connected to one another, you can MU them together as they were describing. In MU mode, even if the engine is in manual, the engine will copy the controls of the leader... Just make sure when you do MU mode, that the engine is also "cut out" (check box below MU)
If you are trying to do helpers, where the engines are not directly connected, you have to set the leader in AI mode. Then on the other engines, release their brakes then open the inspector window. Then click the "cut out" check box. Then turn on the AI in road mode to match the leading engine's set speed... It is a bit inefficient, since the rear engine is always trying to push the train, but it is the best way to do it.
The Manual mode ALSO means "No input from computer or human mode"
You still control and issue speed commands to the Ai locomotive that is the "lead", what happens is that whatever the Ai commands, is mirrored to the controls of the locomotive that is in MANUAL mode as long as MU is active!
If you select the MU locomotive in manual mode, you can watch the throttle and brake inputs the Ai makes.
Control click any engine.
