MSolly6286 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Hi. Please can you help me. Most of my Locos have set up properly (eg loco 15). These have multiple speeds on a slider, but three have set up like loco 16. There is only one speed setting. I have tried to adjust the min mid and max speed cv’s but to no avail. What am I doing wrong please? many thanksmal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-Henny Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 It is an adding loco database error and not neccessarily due to you doing something wrong. This issue gets reported a lot.Navigate to the sticky threads at the top of the Railmaster forum and open the one titled "Railmaster FAQ Index". Following the advice in FAQ4 might solve your problem. This issue seems to be linked to using the Hornby loco database when adding a new loco. I suggest you delete the errored locos and add them again using the FAQ4 advice.If FAQ4 does not resolve your issue then try instead following the FAQ2 advice which avoids using the database method altogether.Note that the top of the slider shows a green background behind the speed value showing (in your case 1). This indicates that you did indeed use the database method when adding the loco. If you use the FAQ manual adding a loco method the top of the slider will be reddish pink and not green and show the number 127. The 127 denotes 'speed steps' and not MPH (or KPH if selected in settings), therefore the 127 represents the number of DCC throttle speed steps to achieve the configured top speed. This is normal behaviour and not a fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Try unticking scale speed in setup first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is normal behaviour and not a fault. Morning. Thank you for this. Yes, I did indeed use the loco database. I’ll take a look and try to follow the instructions. The only reason I used the database was to get the correct picture (to help me identify the models) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Henny Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 @MSolly6286Could I also respectively point out that the more efficient way of replying is to just use the reply text box at the bottom of the page and not use the "Quoted Reply" feature in the 3 dot menu.If you want to bring your response to the attention of an individual then just start your reply with their @tag as I did with your @tag at the start of this reply.For example, in your reply to me directly above this one you could have just started it with @P-Henny instead of duplicating my whole reply.Note that FAQ2 also explains how to get an image of the loco to insert into Railmaster without using the database.

MSolly6286 Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 Thank you for all the help. putting the locos in manually instead of via the database is working, and I get all 127 speed steps. Now to delete and re-enter all 22 locos. (drives me mad if it isn’t all uniform) Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 In case you missed my comment try turning off scale speeds in setup. It might save you some re-entry time, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Henny Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Glad my replies helped.Oh and thank you for using the reply box instead of the 3 dot menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSolly6286 Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 Thank you 96Raf. I’ll try that too as it is currently ticked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
