Hi @Ducky1 I use the Quick Select window just like you and I may have a few too many locomotives too. :-) Whilst Railmaster is rough round the edges this one is easily workroundable. As @St1nkg4y correctly says a scroll bar would help and wouldn't be too difficult to implement. However, the workaround is to 'drag' the centre part of the panel with the locos on it either with the mouse or on a Touch screen with your finger. This will give access to the lower locomotives on the screen quite easily. Cheers, Tricky

Hi @TrainDriverJohn, . This has happened to me on numerous occasions and has driven me quite mad in the past. . I have been able to fix it by entering (or re-entering) the speed factor for the locomotive. This is done by using the stopwatch icon on the loco editing screen. I usually put 3 (seconds, the minimum) entry for the time to travel round the 2.75m circle of track. I've no idea why it works, but it seems to for me! Cheers,

Hi Britanniabuilder, It's worth checking your railmaster.ini file. It may contain the line: Reset eLink on start=1 Change this to: Reset eLink on start=0 I was advised to do this by the Railmaster support team after I downloaded the beta version this afternoon. I found that startup was slow and the USB was enumerating each time I went into Railmaster. This cured that and it still works with my elink. Hi Chrissaf, Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I was given some things to try by you on the 1.70 thread. All appeared to be in order but I was still getting the comms issues. I then went away for a few days. I reported the issue to Railmaster Support over the weekend and got a reply this morning advising to try this afternoons download. As reported above, this appears to have cured my comms issues. Thanks again for your help on the other thread.

Hi all, Thanks to train-domain and RAF96 for tremendous hard work trying to get to the bottom of this issue. I made a decision to upgrade to 1.7 even after seeing some of the early issues reported earlier in the thread as I needed access to the extra functions on the TTS vent van. If you guys have a "faulty" elink then so do I. I have Railmaster installed on a fully patched Windows 10 version 1809 on an all in one Sony Vaio. When it works it is great. However I am getting handshake errors quite regularly upon starting Railmaster. This manifests as an 1154 error. There seems no pattern to it however. Neither does there seem to be a genuine pattern to fix it. Unplugging elinks USB cable doesn't always do it neither does removing the power from elink. Sometimes restarting the Pc is the only solution. I did used to get Comms errors under 1.69. This was fixed by removing the USB cable. Railmaster support really need to get to the root of this issue. I'm holding back on purchasing the pro pack and licences for my andoid devices. I would be willing to allow remote access to my Pc if that helps.

Hi Teedoubleudee, I can confirm that the Galaxy S3 does work. I must have downloaded something at the beginning OK, but couldn't get it to work because of the firewall issues. Incidently, what does it download, is it an Android package? The net result just looks like a web application, but there must be more to it than that? Time for some series playing, or should that be testing... :-)

Hi Fishmanoz, Fireman_Ian, Thanks for taking the time to reply. I thought I had gone through everything, and indeed I had EXCEPT there was an option on the Windows firewall on XP, I'd not spotted or realised the significance of. There is a tick box marked "Don't Allow exceptions". This was ticked, thus negating me putting the exception in for Railmaster and port 30! In my defence the guide shows Windows Firewall for Windows 7 that is completely different to the one I was using in XP. Still, school-boy error!! *ashamed face* Now to have another look at the Samsung Galaxy S3, having got the Sony Tablet Z working... Thanks again. Tricky

Hi All, Been lurking here a few days after buying a Western Master Train Set with e-link and Railmaster. Have got Railmaster working on the laptop under XP after much fiddling with drivers and ports. Don't think I've ever had so much trouble with drivers before and I work in IT! I've not registered Railmaster yet as it all may get put on ebay! It is however working nicely with the one loco. So I decided to try and get it working on Android. The Galaxy S3, has just refused point blank to work, it is complaining about Knox not letting the application run even though I changed the setting to allow non app store apps to run. I moved on to my Sony Tablet Z. After changing a few settings I have got the application loading (ver 1.21) , but even after setting static IP addresses, it just runs through the list of 8 ports starting at 30 and never connects properly. I have added exclusions to Windows firewall and added the port to Windows firewall and I am now basically stuck. Can anyone help? Is the warning about needing Chrome version 35 just a warning, or is it a dealbreaker? I'm not really wanting to faf about putting an old version of chrome on just to rung Railmaster. It's all a bit silly. I can't help but think that a Google apps store app would have been a better way of progressing. Exasperated of Stafford
