What DCC controller do you use?This is pretty self explanatory! What DCC contoller do you use. I use a Select and select walkabout. |

Roco Lokmaus 2. Very simple to operate. I want the new raidio control Multimaus. | ||
| SRBICE |
Does that act as a walkabout to the Lokmaus or on it's own? | ||

Elite and Select as a walkabout | ||
| SRBICE |
I may get the Elite soon. What do you think of the Hornby Infra-red wireless? Is it any good? | ||
| poliss |
The radio control Multimaus is a complete new system. I haven't investigated it too closely because I can't afford it yet. Maybe next Xmas. | ||
| SRBICE |
How much does it cost? | ||
| poliss |
Don't know yet. It doesn't come out till December. I knew it would be to expensive for me though. I have to buy second hand stuff from Ebay mostly. Here's an article about it on Model Rail Forum. http://www.modelrailforum.com/for...howtopic=4603&mode=linear
Just noticed the price in the link. MRRP is 399 Euros. |

Very interesting- I see that it has a USB port like the Hornby Elite. | ||
| poliss |
Roco digital is made for them by Lenz, (it was the last time I looked anyway), so there should be no compatability problems. | ||
| SRBICE |
So, do you think that it would be posibble to connect an elite to a Roco Digital product? | ||
| poliss |
If the Elite has xpressnet I suppose. But I'm no expert on DCC. 
|
||
| SRBICE |
It does have an Xpressnet port. | ||
| SRBICE |
I think my select has totally gone wrong! It cannot program even a double heading, and at one point failed to program a loco. What does everyone think? | ||
| Teleman |
Bin it and go back to DC 
Not realy Is it not the select that they have trouble with and you have to take back to the shop for a new one ?
|
||
| Rog (RJ) |
Try resetting the Select, as shown on page 19 of the manual | ||
| SRBICE |
Thanks Rog- I will try that. | ||
| poliss |
I think I'm glad I have a Lokmaus. | ||
| SRBICE |
Yes- I bet you are  . I thought that the selects were perfect but I was wrong

I use the Elite. | ||

I use the NCE Procab for the American layout and NCE Powercab for the British shunting yard planned for the wnter ....... Highly recommend both especially Powercab for value for money
|
||
| poliss |
I'm still debating on whether to get the Powercab or wait for the wireless Multimaus. | ||
| upnick |
I would never doubt the wireless Multimaus though lets hope it isnt like another system which has issues used wirelessly. |
||
| poliss |
The Multimaus is a proper radio system, not infra-red control. I shall wait for a review before I decide. If it has less than 25 functions I'll get the Powercab. I do hate the Roco manual, the translation is sooooo bad. | ||

I was round a friends house on sunday, he has a dynamis and it worked absolutely fine, no problems al all. |
||
| K9-70 |
Bachmann Dynamis, and the only problem I've had so far is, that the loco database deleted all 14 locomotives except for the last one programmed.
Strange! K9-70 |

Multimaus arrived today. Just an ordinary wired one I'm afraid. Did a short test and she works ok. Plugged my old Lokmaus in as a slave unit and that works too.
