Hi guys. I have now started building my layout after approx 6 years of garage alterations to do so. Back then I had bought for me the 'Western Master' set as a present as I knew I wanted to go digital. I have been collecting bits and pieces since then and have now started putting it all together. Originally I was using an unregested RM on a win 7 laptop, all seemed fine as I was able to program all loco's with very little trouble. However. Now I have my serious build head on, I've run into some problems and wondered if any of you guys have seen this and could offer a solution. I have purchased a dedicated pc for the layout, win 10, RM ver 1.74. All loco's that have previously been programmed work absolutely fine, running, reading and writing. I now have 7 decoders of 8 pin and 4 pin that wil not respond at all. I have tried reading and resetting them to no avail. I have over the years acquired a total of 3 elink controllers and 2 of them have been sent back to Hornby for test and both are fine. I've done my best to set up RM following advice on the forum. Is there anyway I can test the decoders? I'm at a complete loss as to the problem. Everything I'm using is Hornby, (loco's, track, points, decoders.) except 1 loco which I fitted a 4 pin decoder a few years ago, this works fine.
