Tomaso60 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hi guyscan anyone tell me if it is possible to use the Lenz LZV 100 and the LH 100 Handheld with the USB Interface along with the Railmaster program and / or Elink. I have always used the Lenz system with Traincontroller Silver by Railroad & Co (Friewald) to run my layout but there are certain bits on the Railmaster and Elink that I would like to use in conjunction with the Lenz System. At the moment I am using both linked through a double pole double throw switch to switch between both but as I have to come out of one to use the other if they can be linked that would be a major benefit to me. I not worried about being unable to use the Traincontroller system as I only really use it to set up routes and change points and signals so being able to use the Lh100 would be great as it has more controllability of speed at low speed settings. Any help would be appreciated if it can be done?Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Tomaso, take a techo guy to answer this. If you find in the future that Railmaster, is your preferred route, and should ever want to dispose of your Lenz items, please let me know, as i have 2 boys, wishing to go down DCC route, in the future. thanks. I am a converted Elite man, but one of them is looking at Traincontroller. thanks. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaso60 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hi JohnSorry I'm not looking to get rid of the Lenz system or Traincontroller I have two complete Lenz Lh100 systems I'm just looking to extend the usefulness of the Lenz with the abilities of Railmaster Pro and if needed the Elink.

Yelrow Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 No problem, they are in their early stages of build, and i would have regretted not mentionning it, had you disposed of later.john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Very simple answer to this one Tomaso - no, you can only use RM with eLink or Elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaso60 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hi Fishmanoz I thought so but worth a try I will just have to use it the way I'm doing at the moment with the double pole switch between Elink and Lenz Lh100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Seeing as Rocrail supports Lenz kit and bases its Elite protocol on Lenz Expressnet, then maybe Lenz kit would work with RM after tweaking some of the parameters - worth a fiddle or even a punt to HRMS asking for the controller to be included in the drop down - I mean if they list the Select then an electric kettle or toaster will probably work..

Fishmanoz Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 You mean we are going to have to go out and buy toasters with USB ports now? And check their firmware status? Would be handy though to play trains while making breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96RAF Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Not far off the mark Fishy - I saw a piece on the telly the other day about smart household kitchen appliances being a simple hack to get at your pc data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
