nigwint I use Rocrail with an Elite to operate double headers/consists. First I create a loco name i.e. T9 Consists I then use a number that I have not already allocated to any of my locos. Rocrail allows you to add locos by way of multiple units. I then add my two T9`s in the multiple units box. So when I select T9 consists it operates both locos at the same time with speed/function keys. You can sound both loco whistles at the same time.Assuming they have the same function key number. You can still select each of the locos by there own original number and use all control/function keys. The best of both worlds. And you do not have to disolve the double header.
Hi everyone, Thanks for telling me you're thoughts on railmaster, keep them coming, Jacob Bechio has done it again for leeds, right into the top corner, Leeds have one the game
Having seen RailMaster demonstrated by a Hornby rep at my model railway club's golden jubilee exhibition, the only problem I could see was not having long enough sidings. They said that the software will continue to be developed adn what we see now (on the website and videos) is not all there will be. One feature that will be coming soon will be the ability to drag a loco/train from one place on your computer track plan to another; RailMaster will then move it there for you, changing points and stopping other trains when necessary.

I asked if we would have to pay for these new features when they come out and was told that some of the major new functions would have to be paid for, but others would be free to download. My layout is a double loop with various sidings etc. on two 6X4 baseboards poorly fixed together (something I have to redo). Although it isn't that complicated, having even just three locos controlled by the elite can be problematic - expecially when points are involved. I agree with what others have said in that railmaster will be good for things such as point controll.
