Thanks guys some excellent ideas for me to consider

Thanks guys that has solved it , yes I got my wires crossed cheers

Hi i have tried running the loco without the tender , but it still stops on each point unless I run at speed then it will judder but the momentum carries it over the point thanks

Hi I have a A4 Mallard with the v finger tender. It stops at my points at low speed and resets the decoder to 001 other locos cross without a problem l have to reset each time unless I keep it running at speed any suggestions thanks

Hi Andy Your post has been retitled to reflect the subject of your question. This post and thread will be deleted shortly. R-

Hi i have checked all the above and all seems correct. i am now running the loco without the tender and it still stops as the wheels hit the frog , I am using live frogs. so I assume that it must be the loco wheels that are causing the stalling . The Elite is not shorting or loosing the data from the decoder which was the problem when the tender was attached. the wheels are all perfectly in line and I can't see how they could be adjusted as they appear fixed to the spindle. the brushes are all in place and touching the wheels. This Mallard stops on every point not just one , my other simila locos cross at low speed with out an issue , including the Hogwarts train and Maude 673 and Bach**n locos I have fitted insulated rail joiner in the V of the frog. The only other loco which stops at low speed in a small 040 southern 63 which has never been a good runner, I am reluctant to purchase other locos until this issue is solved many thanks Andy

Hi it is the Mallard with the draw bar and springy fingers if the mallard stops on the point it does not trip light a short it just stops and I have to reset the address with my Elite it does not appear to go back to the default address no 3 it appears to wipe all addresses. i have checked the wheel setting and they are correct . at speed the momentum of the loco with cross but not at normal or slow speed it stops any ideas would be appreciated thanks Andy

Hi the Mallard just stops and won't cross the point without a push sometimes it decodes the decoder so I have to reprogramm with my Elite

Hi all i have purchased a used Railroad Mallard with tender which stalls on my electrofrog points All my other Hornby locos cross without stalling , so it must be this loco. any advise would be appreciated , thanks

Hi my computer has updated to version 1.72 and not 1.73 it still says my evaluation is now over but I have not started yet why is it not updating to 1.72 thanks Andy

Why is my 90 day trial download of railmaster saying 90 day has expired when it hasn't started yet .?. how do I run the trial version with my Elite thanks Andy

Hi what colour is the wire for number one pin for the Sappire decoder when using it as a 21 pin decoder is it a mauve colour thanks Andy

What is the Elite warranty please it has to be a minimum of 12 months under the consumer code

Thanks so the 4 Event programme will still work with the Elite controller and Saphire decoder, using the 8 pin adapter harness in an 8 pin loco have I got this correct ? thanks

Thanks for the quick reply if I use the 8 pin harness will the loco, will the decoder still function like the 21 pin decoder or will it's functions
