Railmaster and reading decoders


Guest Chrissaf

Recommended Posts

Hi  all,

 

I am new to DCC and railmaster. I have managed to get all my hornby trains running with railmaster but I am having trouble getting railmaster to read non-hornby decoders. Any suggestions?

All help gratefully received!

Just for clarity and the elimination of doubt. When you say.....

"I am having trouble getting railmaster to read non-hornby decoders."

Do you mean reading the decoder CVs with the loco on the programming track, or do you mean adding a non Hornby loco into RailMaster so that you can control it.

If an alien decoder is not in the RM database it will throw a flag asking you to supply a pdf of the decoder characteristics.

 

I have found RM can misread known decoders and a retry often sorts it.

 

Regardless you can enter basic parameters manually into RM including the Manuf and Version data into CVs 7 & 8.
