I still have my back up, which I made just for this protection. Since this new panel and LogiX was generated on a separate computer I was just in the process of transporting it to the layout system. But your suggestion is well taken! Always keep a last known working file to revert back to. As for Rasberry, I am not using it or an Arduino. I am trying to keep it simple at this stage! Thanks for the insights!

I think this may be a candidate to mention the thought - -have a good working backup before you delve into unknown waters. ?I backup once a week when actively fiddeling with JMRI. ?If you are not careful, you can get twisted up pretty well.
If working on a RPI3B+ or such, in the Rasbian OS there is a nice tool for duplicating a SD card. ?I recommend it. ?You can keep a SD card on a "thumb stick" plugged into an unused USB port. ?At some point when all lis still working..you can shoot an image of the active SD card back to this one. ?Make this copy when JMRI is shut down so you do not have open files around..just good practice.
On this tool's window, your active SD shows its size - like 16mb. ?Your destination SD will be something like usbb..not usba. ?The tool will not activate if you do not have the source and destination sd cards identified correctly.
