Running a DC loco using RailMaster and eLink

[Davelg]

When I used my Elite controller to run my layout I could set up the controller to run DC locos.

I now run the layout using eLink in conjunction with RailMaster. Can I set the eLink to run DC locos?

No,

The eLink controller NOR RailMaster supports the 'zero bit stretching' technology to support the 'DCC Address Zero' feature.

Most DCC Controller manufacturers [Hornby included] are slowly moving away from supporting this old 'out of date' feature because of the damage it can do to DC Analogue motors.

Even in the Hornby Elite and Select controller manuals, there was small print saying that although the feature was supported that it is recommeneded that it isn't used.
