HornbyRailMasterSupport Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 There are in fact around 50 enhancements to RailMaster without the Pro-Pack being purchased. Improved connection speeds to the eLink is just one.The Pro-Pack provides around another 50 further new features for those more advanced railway modellers.

96RAF Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 ...more advanced railway modellers with deeper pockets.Much as I would like the additional features Pro-Pack will have to wait for the next state pension increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hi JohnI am pleased you have managed to sort out your update problem.That sounds good for 5 new points but if you are still on that Table Tennis board, it must be getting a bit crowded by now.

Yelrow Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 RDS, its only the DC thats on the table tennis table, i have the DCC, 8x4, on another table. Hornby Support, where can i find a list of the other 49, enhancements, as i would like to go through them, to my advantage. Tony, that increase in elink connection, is well worth having. When we have a list of the other 49, we can explore. How do you categorise a more advanced railway modeller, purely financial ?????. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ_model_trains Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Good point JohnTo me a more advanced railway modeller is someone with more knowledge and experience, that means to me, most of you guys ;-)PJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Thats the point i was making PJ, it should not be a money thing john(one of the less advanced poorer railway modellers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ_model_trains Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hi JohnI will just do what I am doing John then wait for the next state pension rise. The country can only have a pittance as the country cannot afford it but, Politian's can have 9%!Having said that, no matter how much we have or have not got we cannot take it with us.I don't drink, we don't smoke, we never go abroad on holiday, we may have a few days away now and then but other than that we just go to our daughters in Poole and she puts us up. We do the same when she comes up here with the grandchildren.So we have our hobbies, mine are the most expensive, my wife says! But we enjoy time together and times when she is crafting and I am training. I like that, I am still training. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Guess I'm very lucky with regards to my work pension. I'm only £200 a month worse off than I was when I was working and I don't have any loans of any type to repay, so I'm better off. That's what comes of working for the same company for 37 years I sippose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_forward Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 WTD, my season ticket to work was 3800 a year, out of taxed income equating to roughly 5k needed to earn just to get to work. Take off NI and less income tax and I am slightly better off than being at work! As you say, over 40 years with the same firm and a good pension scheme mean that I can afford to play trains! Having said that, I will persevere wih RM and Elink because I can not really afford to mothball it and use something else! Apart from that, I do think it's the way to go and points are so easy to control with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Retirement is definitely the best job I ever had, much better off financially relative to when I was working and lumbered with mortgage, loans, etc. Being outwith the UK tax system and lodged with the Cyprus tax system also helps. ...that is if you ignore the fact the kids need to be bailed out every other month, but can still afford to buy things they don't need.I'm forced to holiday in UK during schhol holidays to look after the grand-kids and do all the DIY jobs the kids can't find time or money to do. No trips to exotic locations, although I did see a nice 84 day round the world venture advertised for only GBP30,000 each for a cabin with a window and a balcony.Some would say 'bigger fool me', but I still have my trains.Sorry but I seem to have drifted off the OP again.

walkingthedog Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I should have been with the same company for 40 years Tony but they let me go 3 years early when they decided to add on the 3 years I did with the GPO telephones. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishmanoz Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 John, go to page 2 of this forum and have another look at the thread "it's here - 1.56" and on the first page you'll find a complete listing of the changes made in 1.56 and ProPack. You can of course find this in the file Release Notes in your RM folder on your laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
