Locked Ops and Roster question

 

I'm having an interesting foray into ops, but have got stuck on the following issue.

I initially imported locos from the roster, but have since been entering hem directly in ops. Some of them are analog, as I will be running some manually but now I am not sure how to sync these back to the decoder pro roster.

Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks and Happy New Year!

Thanks
 

I haven¡¯t found a good way either, although I usually get them set up in DecoderPro first and then manually enter them into Locomotives in Ops. There may be a way to do a single entry import into Locomotives but I haven¡¯t found it. Of course the other option is to delete everything in Locomotives and then reimport the whole roster from DecoderPro, but that seems daunting.
 

There isn't a way to export locos from operations to Decoder Pro.? You should always enter them into Decorder Pro first.

Thanks Dan and Mike for your responses. I may not have explained things clearly enough.

I have mostly analogue DC locos at present, and can not see how / whether I should enter these in the roster in order to get Ops schedules together? Maybe I am stuck entering them in Ops, but then when I do add a chip, do I have to delete and re-add?

Is there a way to enter analogue locos anywhere into the roster??

Thanks.
 

To track what is an analog loco, the only meaningful data is the roster pane
and basic for address zero at the beginning of whatever decoder you pick.
The only way to carry the data over to a real decoder entry would be
cut/paste.

Ok thanks Ken (and Mark), but can you explain what I am cutting and pasting please?Thanks.?

John,

What I was meaning is the only details for a non-decoder loco would be
things like road name, locomotive type, owner, manufacturer, and comments.
For that loco, anything that entry thought of as being a CV would be
meaningless since the loco has no decoder, therefore, no CV's.

Thanks Ken for clarifying that. I guess what I don't want is to create more work down the road than necessary. I'm going to take a closer look at Decoder Pro to figure a few things out as suggested, but an initial question comes to mind... Would it not be sensible / possible to (maybe optionally) use the roster table and data as the source of info in ops directly, assuming somehow critical detail such as type etc could also be entered into the roster directly for each loco? Just a thought....!
