DR4018 arrived today and got it all working with my console and JMRI!!
Nigel, thank you for all your help.....I hope you don't mind me asking a few more questions to help me along!!!
Now that I'm getting to grips with JMRI and how it works, I can certainly agree that it is very addictive, frustrating, but incredibly versatile!
Q1 - When I open the panels and my control panel opens, all the point icons are shown with the ? as to indicate that JMRI doesn't know what their position is. Not until I click on the turnout will it then change to either thrown or closed. Is there a way to stop it from doing this??
Q2 - In the layout editor I have a couple of loops which have 2 turnouts (one at either end) however the editor won't allow me to add a 2nd turnout that has the same LT* number, yet I can add two turnouts the control panel with the same LT*. I assume for future routing and functions the layout editor will need to have both turnouts shown??
Thanks again in advance for your help and support!!
