I have always been impressed by Roco and Arnold electronics, it seems like Roco at least have picked up where they left off. I wish Fleischmann or Uhlenbrock had a similiar program or that Hornby were able to leverage some of Arnold's previous work.

As there is a free downloadable version available for trial I thought this would be a good opportunity to have a go with computer control to see what it can do for those interested.

Has anyone successfully transferred a loco to a Multimaus? Tried this afternoon but the locos 3 digit CV address as entered in Rocomotion came out as a letter and 3 completely different digits on the Multimaus causing an ERR13 display. Also is the reverse possible - uploading locos from the Multimaus to Rocomotion?
