Locked Re: JMRI Not Identifying Locomotives Properly

Here is just a small section of my roster - all have the same Road identification, most have the same road number, but different decoders. This roster only has 1,405 entries - some N Scale, Some HO and Some O scale. These locos are all green.

The locos with QSI decoders were factory fitted the others were fitted "after market" - in numerous cases they were upgrades to replace the QSI decoders. There are 63 locos in this group - not counting other roads with identical numbers such as UP and Rio Grande.

How could you make a database of all locos - the decoder is the only part of the equation that can be identified with Decoder Pro. It is only in recent years that Decoder Manufacturers have added an extra CV to identify the particular model of decoder.

Just my thoughts

This is why the application needs a database engine under the hood. That would also allow picklists for road names and locomotive models. That would make it very easy for make an indexable ID system.?
