Fishmanoz said: Surely it's simple, and should help with colour blindness. The arrows represent which is the left throw button or the right throw button, irrespective of point orientation. This will be even more needed when 45 degree points are available. Then the arrows will only represent the direction of throw in 1 out of 8 points (vertically up), but all 8 will be set either left or right, as represented by the arrow on the button. Arrow replaces colour. Think about it? It hasn't replaced colour, now instead of two we have three. I have two points on one straight length of track, one left and one right. The arrows are different colours and point in different directions. On my siding points, the arrows point at each other and it is only by the colour that you can tell which way the points are set. Maybe Hornby should have provided more point variations before this update. Maybe Hornby should add another button to revert to the previous update so that I'm not sat here with nothing working on my set.

Having sat in morrisons car park for the last hour with nowt else to do, I've come up with a solution. I believe it cant be the CVs, otherwise it would not run ok with the Elite I have changed on Railmaster my class 20 to a 37 and renamed it as class 20 on the screen, this now runs perfectly. Do other people have similiar problems when putting B trains on.

I have one train which goes slow on Railmaster, however I set it off with the Elite today and it shot round the track. Have looked on the forum but am unable to find out how to adjust speed settings on Railmaster. Can somebody give me some simple hints. I am not PC literate.

I agree with you about the packaging, you don't know what curve it will run on till you open it. However, many model shops have the trains on display without the packaging so should the shop advise you. As for marking 1st radius for railroad only, this isnt true as my expensive trains run on it no problem. In fact the railroad class 40 won't. It is however a good idea to have a set of models clearly advertised for 1st radius. Might open up more avenues for them.

I think the statement 'don't use first radius at all' is misleading. Avoid 2nd radius WHY. If this is because you run only steam, then this should be said. I only run diesel and have 1st to 4th radius. A class 20, 25 108 runs around 1st radius quite merrily Everything runs no problem on second. I keep 3rd and 4th radius for running pullman, HSTs etc purely because of length. Lets not put people off any layout purely because it does not work on their layout.
