Next step in Railway modelling

Initial thoughts are good, only just managed to get it going due to problems with installaion of Railmaster.

You need to read all the instructions to ensure you do not have issues when installing.

The one piece of advice is switch off all the anti virus software first, should then be a doddle.

Still to exlore the use of the eLink.

ELINK

This products instructions are not clear it does not mention PC`c Ports or framework, once downloaded it does record programs of train runs but does not carry out the recorded function as programed every time thus either causing trains to go further than planed or shorter with consequences . on manual runs the stop icon does not work every time, its a great concept but as when it first came out has short falls you cannot take your eyes from the loco`s I have raised these and other points with Hornby reps at exhibitions with negative interest. The system does not allow for extra load on trains this is not pointed out , inclines and tempermental points effects the program, all in all its better to have full and total control over expensive Loco`s, not impressed in fact look at Hornby`s own layout at the shop the trains there prove the point. Thank youRead full review

Makes DCC easy once you get it to work.

This is a really good product from Hornby and Railmaster, making DCC much less of an esoteric mystery for old DC hands like me. I really like the way I can control the layout from a Windows PC. It's simple to use, yet quite flexible.
I eventually managed to download a trial version of the software. Edge or Google wouldn't do it, (their security won't download an 'exe' file from an http address) so I installed Opera, used it's VPN mode and managed it, phew). Then I ran the exe file as an administrator and it installed OK. What a rigmarole!

Great idea, configuring is tough.

Not used it yet. Few problems with the drivers as there is no instructions for win10 drivers. This is taking a while to sort out but I am sure once I do sort it out things will be fine and dandy.

Hornby eLink but Windows no link.

Hornby have messed up here, it is very difficult to set this up, I tried windows 10 and 7 and the pc just couldn't find the elink unit, which, by the way, feels cheap and not worthy of the brand, I have given up on it as it just didn't work for me.Read full review

A-lot of time and patience is required not for beginners

Very difficult to install and get running but once done works well with easy to use guides

So Simlpe.

I found Rail Master so easy to install and program my locos, it makes it so easy to run a layout with just one controller, and when connected to a computer it is even better, you can see which locos are running and is easier to change points and signals.Read full review

Eh?

This product appears to do everything it says on the box - just keep pressing on with installation - it all starts to work
