RDS Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I have recently completed the wiring up of my Points Motors, so despite having owned RailMaster for a long time, I have just started to use the point controls. I have a passing loop off a main straight, with a Left Hand Point at one end and a Right Hand Point at the other. I have cross wired them (Red to Green and Green to Red) so that they operate together and this works perfectly. They are wired from the same Port on my Decoder so they can both be set to either the passing loop or the main straight. The Blue markers on the RailMaster Track Plan operate together, however they show one point as being set to the Main Straight and the other to the Passing Loop, or vice versa, rather than both to the Main Straight or both to the Passing Loop. Is there any way around this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37lover Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 RDS,There was a thread titled Point Indicators a few weeks ago with the same question, have you read through that? Sorry but I don't know if the replies solved the query. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dave,The answer you need is here, as long as you have the Propack version https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/forum/post/view/topic_id/6332/?p=2 Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 RDS,There was a thread titled Point Indicators a few weeks ago with the same question, have you read through that? Sorry but I don't know if the replies solved the query. Thanks, I was not aware of that thread, as I have only just started using 'automatic' points.

RDS Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 ... The answer you need is here, as long as you have the Propack version ... Hi Ray, Thanks. I particularly liked your method of a ficticious point but I can't get RM to remember that I have added it to be switched as well. As soon as I exit the point desgner window, the 'other point' I have just added, disappears (or is it only to be used when you have signals?)

St1ngr4y Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Hi Dave, I've just tried it out in Layout Designer to make sure it still works, and it does. I've sent you an email. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
