On trying to submit a post earlier, I put in the word V*^#a , only to find it blocked. The fact that it is identified to be a profanity amazes me. ( alcoholic drink from Russia ).

Hi, just to let you know , I re-installed Rm, after removing previous installation. Corrected Alternative Comms & Check Controller settings in the ini File list. Closed and restarted Rm , and everything was ok ,with the exception of Internet Connection . Left Rm running and went down for a coffee , came back up and had an internet connection. worked on layout for a couple of hours and closed down for the night. On powering up yesterday, the Internet Connection was lost. went on You-tube to ACs excellent Video on changing Configuration of I.P Address to a fixed Address. Did as instructed. Opened Rm , but no joy with Internet still not connecting. Gave-up and powered off for the night. came up an hour ago, powered up , opened Rm and everything as it should be. A long story to get telling you that I am a Happy Old Man. I think I will go and have a glass or 3 of the Russian stuff & Irn Bru.smiley

Hi Fishman, thanks for this info' . That's something new I've learned today.

Thanks for your reply Chris. I was thinking about carrying out a new installation . I have been using AC's installation instructions . Thanks again.

My old PC running XP crashed fatally. We were unable to recover anything related to Rmaster. Obtained a refurbished Windows 10 tower. I have now ( after 3 attempts ) managed to update and install Railmaster V1 .74 r 2 and Elite V1.45 . I have 2 Problems (1) I have no connection showing for internet on Rm screen . And (2) when setting up , I am instructed to go into Compatabity settings and tick Admin box , but rhere is no option for selecting windows 10 . I have selected windows 7 . Oh , how I miss Windows XP . Can anyone advise me how to rectify these problems ? Obviously I am unable to contact HRMS to reset my Rm key and Rm Pro code.

Hi Sir John, I agree 100% with Colin B and The Duke . The accuracy is fantastic . It is a bit of of a weighty financial outlay , but at the end of the day you will say to yourself , it was worth it ,

Onthescrapheap, hi, if you programmed on control "A" press knob to pulse point, then press again to activate in the opposite direction. Obviously the same if you used control "B". On second thoughts it may be press button "A" then "B" to return.

Pleased that you got it sorted out Colin. I think that it is a great turntable , very accurate . I sit and play with it empty , just for the pleasure of watching it.

Hi Colin, went up and checked out mine. start up as you describe, as far as defalt to whatever spur position t/t is at , but does not flash. so as you say there appears to be a wee problem on yours as you say. I thought mine was probably performing in the same manner as yours , but I was wrong. Sorry about my confusion. Please rest assured that in no way was I questioning your electrical knowledge as I have read your comments/ input on other topics on the Forum.

Does it obey commands from the Heljan controller . I am also wondering about reverse polarity when you have a loco runing off and on ? Colin...... I don't really understand your concern with the display flashing when waiting on programme commands and driving to a new spur position , which as you have said is normal for the controller

So have you run a loco on and off yet . I'm assuming you will have .

Colin, it appears to me that you now have it wired up in analog mode . ( see wiring diagrams page 3 ) . The power supply to the Heljan controller should be from your buz wires or soldered to track. The heljan controller display will flash when t/t moving to new position, Hugh.

Have a look at modeltrains4u

Very interesting. Well done Ken.

Yes Ken , a very enjoyable video. Impressed More power to your elbow sir.
