Buffer up to vehicle ahead

Buffer up to vehicle ahead

Drive until the controlled train (usually a rear assist loco) makes contact to the rear of a consist ahead (the train to be assisted) in DCC mode. The controlled train (rear assist loco) stops immediately after contact with the rear of the consist (the train to be assisted). Immediately prior to this command in the driver schedule, use a command such as 'Drive Via Trackmark' to bring the controlled train to a point with a clear switched path to the rear of the consist.
The command execution sets the coupling mask of the lead coupler in the train's heading (logical direction of travel), so the train is prevented from coupling to the consist ahead.
Use <kuid:368725:60017> 'Set lead coupler mask of train' to reset the mask once the set mask is no longer required.

Thanks to atilabarut for his 'CoupleAhead' command which has been used as a template for the development of this command.
