The video showed the process, but I agree its also a little vague.
I'm thinking there must be a limited amount of consisting programming to be done, so that it knows which consist it belongs to. That said, i think the idea with the magnetic wand is that if you set a boxcar or something off to the side, it lets you "shut off" the consisting so that its not making noises while its sitting there on the siding as the rest of the train goes.
I'm guessing that for a cab car, the soundcar decoder would have to be in consist, otherwise how would you control the train?
I'm thinking though, that we're probably overthinking it a little. I'm sure that once we get one in our hands, it will be intuitive.
