Don't know if its been suggested already, but I would like to see the lines from the original programs in a merged program to be different colours. It would make it so much easier when trying to locate a programming error.

HornbyRailMasterSupport said: If you want to backup data that you have created within RailMaster, the files to copy are as follows:- Resource.mdb This contains all of the locos you set up Groups.dat This contains details of loco groups you set up *.pln These are track plan files *.prg These are RailMaster program files for automation You should never copy the entire RailMaster folder onto another PC or the latter installation will not work. RailMaster must be installed properly from the CD or downloaded setup file. Only then can you copy the above files into the new RailMaster folder. The program folder which contains all of the above files (assuming you did not alter any of the default setup properties) is C:Program Files (x86)RailMaster. On Windows XP and earlier, it is just C:Program FilesRailMaster. The next major update of RailMaster will contain a backup routine to automate this. In the mean time you can either copy the files manually, or if you know your way around batch files you could create a small batch file to copy the required files onto another medium e.g.:- Copy "c:program files (x86)railmasterresource.mdb" e: Copy "c:program files (x86)railmastergroups.dat" e: Copy "c:program files (x86)railmaster*.pln" e: Copy "c:program files (x86)railmaster*.prg" e: The above batch file assumes your backup medium (e.g. USB memory stick) is located on drive e: although you can change this in the batch file if it a different drive letter. Batch files can be edited in the Windows Notepad text editor and saved with the file name something.bat. You can then create a shortcut to the file and run it from a single icon. Thanks rail master support, I really appreciate your help

[reply]Fishmanoz said: All of this detail is contained in files with obvious names in the Railmasster folder in Program Files or Program Files(X86) depending on your Windows version. Just copy them to a flash drive and paste them into the same place on your new PC.[Yes most of them are, but i'm struggling to get the Loco details, I have 38 locos on the database but cannot seem to find the files! I can find Loco1.dat, loco4.dat and locos.dat but these don't help, any idea's? ]

Hi I am changing my PC and will de activate RM on my existing PC and Re install it on my new PC. Is there a way to swop over the loco configuration, track plans, train programs and schedules to the new PC without having to put them all in again. Thanks

I have a loft layout and would like to have a dedicated PC to running rail master, with the minimum amount of software on it, so I would like to have the facility of designing tracks and writing routes and timetables on a separate pc and then being able to transferring them onto the dedicated one.( I use the laptop at the moment and its not ideal).I would also like to see a print facility to print off the track plan and time tables. My track plan is to big to be shown on one screen even at 50%. Setting your own default screen size would be good. Also I would like to see a version for mac operating system.
