Hi - I have an Arcomora DCCNext decoder which I want to use with RailMaster, however I'm unsure as to what Decoder Type to select for the Point as there is is no entry for Arcomora. The Arcomora is a Arduino based decoder driving Servos. Cheers. Jeremy.

Does the loco have the motor in the Tender or the Engine ? I have an old Hornby Princess circa 1989 with the motor n the Tender - I have discovered the pickups for one track are in the loco body, and the pickups for the other track are in the tender. If the "whiskers" on the Loco do not press onto the pin on the Tender tightly the motor does not run well - if at all. One mod you can try is to solder a small fine wire to the pickup wire in the Tender body and run it down to the wiskers on the Loco, and solder it to them - of course this means the loco and tender are permenantly attached - so you have to be more careful when handling, and pick up both Loco and tender together.
