I recently collected - at long last - a Bachman 2-HAP ages after ordering it! The unit number is 6061. So, logically the DCC is would be 6061. However, with the loco on the programming track my Railmaster/Elink combination would not program the loco to 6061. Every other number was fine, but starting with 60 was a big no-no. I am assuming it's because accessory decoders use 60 as a starting point So unless others have any better ideas I have used the head code instead of the unit number. Am I on the right track?

No it isn't. I was told by a shutter driver many years ago that on shunters the cab is always at the front. it makes driving easier.

My 4-tc lights are on f5. zen decoders MUST apparently be programmed on a programming track, not on the main. i did my class 33 and the 4-tc at the same time on the programming track So the carriages and loco have the same code. loco lights on 0, sound on 1, carriage lights on 5. hope this helps.

update 1.72? it says at the top of the forum that latest version is 1.71 ? RailMaster Current Version: v1.71 release 0 - Updated 09-07-19

My platform announcements were recorded on my iPad by my grandaughter. Transmitted via Bluetooth to a small speaker behind the station building. Attracts a lot of comments at exhibitions and works very well. I simply pick the one that is relevant out of 14 options and press play!

"The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed." is what I get when trying to upload from an I-pad - having successfully uploaded several late last year from the same I-pad I wonder what has been changed And who by, Hornby or Apple?

@ PJ MODEL TRAINS Thanks PJ, I took it to our club this morning, as an experiment to see if I could get the whole lot, trestles, stock, laptop, etc all in the car, and to show the guys there for their opinions. The layout fitted in the car, was well received by club members and will have its first outing at our exhibition in April. Sisnce the pics were taken I've added some bushes and passengers have started arriving for the first commuter service to London :) All in all a good mornings work!
