Caritas Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Any ideas how I can register my locomotive into my hornby e link. The details do not come up in the drop down list of available trains when I search. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Pick a similar loco that is listed then amend the details it populates.The subject of adding a loco not in the database has been covered many times before on the RM forum.Also make sure your RM is current by downloading the absolute latest version from the link at the top of the RM forum page. Locos are added to the database by stealth and do not trigger an automatic update. The undocumented version can be updated at any time without notice.

Chrissaf Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Adding a TTS loco that is not currently in the loco database is detailed as a 'step by step' illustrated tutorial in this previous thread. Manually adding a Loco to the RM Database.https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/forum/r3459tts-decoder-not-recognized-23469/ Full description of the ‘Locomotive Settings’ screen in detail.https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/forum/changing-cruise-and-shunt-speeds/?p=1 In the 'Step by Step' tutorial. It says find a suitable image of the missing loco to add to the database. To save you that step I have done it for you. Right click the image below (on a PC) and choose 'Save Image As' or something similar. You can then save the image below to your hard disk to use in the tutorial. /media/tinymce_upload/48031edea3f2ad1ccdcf3def1cd936b0.jpg TIP: As a newbie poster on the forum, just be aware that the 'Blue Button with the White Arrow' is not a 'Reply to this post' button.

Caritas Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Thanks for the very detailed and helpful replies so far. It all looks very complicated. But I will do my best or maybe wait until my Grandson can come and do it once Covid restrictions allow him to come to my house ! Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Have a go at it Caritas. If you make a pig’s ear of it simply delete the loco from the roster and start again. We have all been there, done that and got to do it again. Its called a learning curve and you will get past it in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
