Could not see a topic about possible requests for changes or improvements to the new forum. So have started this. My problem is that the font of the content, .e this paragraph, is very faint and with my poor eyesight I cannot read it unless I expand it quite a lot. The old forum font was fine. Would it be possible to make the font darker so that it is easier to read.

Don't forget to ring Hornby and get a returns number before you send it back.

Also agree with RAF. I used to enjoy looking everyday and placed the odd order. But life is too short to waste time going round various sites. i won't bother at all this year.

I have the Hornby Hall in red. Mine runs fine and will pull 7 coaches with ease. I reiterate what Going Spare has said. Service and check the coaches for free running.

I have a Dapol one, nice and solid and a very reliable runner.

My Elink gets warm during a long session, but not too hot to touch. The Licence you bought was for Railmaster and nothing to do with the Elink, so if you do get a new Elink you do not need another licence. Hope this helps.

The Red Button is perfectly normal. It is there in case a short happens that does trigger the "Short has occurred" message so that you can restart everything without switching RM/Elink physically off and on.

Jimbo Hope you still manage to browse these pages occasionally and see how the new Hornby TT and Bluetooth controls develop. All the best for the future and take care.

To use 1 laptop for both layouts you only need 1 version of RM Pro and 1 Elink. Just connect both layouts into the Elink. You will need to set up both layouts in the trackplan if you are operating points through RM. And make sure you do not use the same point addresses or Loco numbers across the layouts. For instance Loco numbers in layout 1 could be in the range 100-199 and layout 2 the range 200-299. Similarly for the point addresses.

Alternatively you can run 2 independent layouts from 1 laptop running RM. I did just that for a while running a N gauge layout alongside my OO layout.

Running Railmaster on a Dell WIN 11 Laptop with Elink. As I use my Laptop away from the Railway it is already on when I use it with RM. But as long as I remember to carry out the following sequence I never get any problems. Attach Elink to it's usual Comm Port.Power up the Elink.Wait for 5-10 seconds.Start RM.

Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year.

I remember, when being in the infant's school, our teacher had put a map of the world on the wall and we were following the Commonwealth tour that, as she was then, Princess Elizabeth was doing. Putting coloured markers for each place she visited. I remember being sad that we did not finish it. Then a year later the whole school went to a local Cinema to watch the film of the Coronation. The Queen worked extremely hard, carrying out the many functions that had to be attended, always with a smile. I am glad she managed to get to Balmoral, her favourite place, to see the hills one last time. May she Rest in Peace along with her lifelong love and companion, Prince Philip.

@Brew Man 1 coach would be sufficient. Just have to put one of the couplers on the coach and one on a locomotive, assuming it has the appropriate NEM slot.
