RailMaster and e-Link: The 21st Century Answer for Controlling Your Layout this Christmas

Hornby's innovative e-Link interface allows a model railway layout to be controlled by a PC, once the Railmaster software has been installed. Additionally, you can also control your layout via iPad, iPod or Android devices. This latest technology adds a whole new dimension to railway modelling which will appeal to a new and younger generation of enthusiasts.

The launch and undoubted success of the e-Link and RailMaster combo, with the release of the Western Master set earlier this year, has certainly made a huge impact on the world of digital railways.

Whether you are an experienced or novice hobby enthusiast, RailMaster is designed to be simple and very straightforward to use. Once installed, you can quickly program locomotives and control your layout using your PC.

Through e-Link and RailMaster you can operate up to 9,999 locomotives and in excess of 2,500 points or accessories at any one time - a breakthrough for the traditional model railway hobbyist.

This latest development underlines Hornby's passion for taking the simple train set and providing the necessary equipment so that, given time and patience, the hobby can last a lifetime.

The e-Link and RailMaster Combo pack is available for £84.99 (RRP) for all those enthusiasts with a Windows PC or laptop. For beginners, the Western Master set, containing everything you need to get up and running, is available at £154.99 (RRP).

A series of RailMaster instructional DVDs will also be available soon to show just how simple and rewarding the software can be.
