writing to the function button

[6667s]

Just bought an railtrack class 156 with sound, the function buttons do not have all the sounds in the drop down list, can i wright them in to the program, and how?

.....can I write them in to the program, and how?

.

Yes

In the 'Locomotive Set Up' Screen. Just edit the function button label directly in the text box field that displays it. Note that if a function is supposed to stay latched on, then the text on/off MUST be written on the function button label. There is a limitation on the number of characters you can write, so use short names and abbreviations as appropriate.

.

The 'check boxes' on the right hand side select the six (only six can be selected) functions that will appear on the small throttle. All functions will appear on the large throttle. The function buttons on the large throttle are scrollable to see those functions above the ones that are initially visible.

Have you checked if the R number for your loco, including T at the end of the number (most important), is in RM’s list of locos, after you’ve downloaded and installed the very latest version of RM from the link at the top of the forum (do it again even if you did it only yesterday)? Finding it saves you doing the setup manually as Chris has described.

Fishy,

I don't think the OP's model is a Hornby one. I think it is a typo in the post and the loco is made by Realtrack (not Railtrack). If my suspicion is correct, then it won't be in the RM database.
