Hi Lee,

The first line, the ID, is what you will see when you are selecting the loco to program from a list.  I use something like this: "NS GP9 2600".  (Road Name, Loco Type, Road Number)  This is the main identifier for the file.  The other lines or entries are for the specific items and in my case are duplicated.  You can make the ID entry anything you want, including "Loco No.1", but that won't tell you anything of value when you are trying to find a particular loco in a list of all your locos.

Elmer.

The above is my opinion, from an active and experienced Model Railroader in N scale and HO since 1961.

(Modeling Freelance, Eastern US, HO scale, in 1962, with NCE DCC for locomotive control and a stand alone LocoNet for block detection and signals.) http://waynes-trains.com/ at home, and N scale at the Club.

Setting up roster on Decoder Pro 3

Hey Guys.

My new windows laptop seems to be working the way it should, and I want to set up my roster "correctly" .

The window calls for two entry's, loco  #ID and road number. Not sure if that is two different things?

Also manufacture and model, I'm thinking like manufacturer EMD SD7 and Bachmann model?  Dunce

A little help please.

Lee
