I won't go into it all but I had to extinguish and then reload the article list and the track board screen. I have got all of my digital signals/switches reloaded with new addresses, restarted APS etc and they work fine. Now I'm getting to the reinstalling of the 10 events I had. BTW, the circuit tracks k1, k2, k3 etc remained on the article list page. I was able to initially remove them all from the track board screen. When I started to re-make the 1st event I was able to drag k1 onto the track board screen but it and the red signal will not drag to the event box when I try? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Peter.

Also, the Link88 must give its OK for the events to execute (cannot simulate without the Link88 connected and responding) Otherwise you have a pink/red square in the center top of screen asking you to wait. Cheers Jean

Cheers Jean Thanks for your input, Jean. Link decoder shows a green check so it's ok and there is no pink/red square on top. Peter.

Yes sometimes it take a little time to find where the little guy is hidden. If you are absolutely stuck, one way is to delete the article (event , contact, switch, signal, turntable). So it will be removed of all your track plans and easy to re-insert. Cheers Jean

Well thru trial and error I got everything working again but my article list remains quite "messy" which I don't believe is a big problem because all the events have been remade and are working fine. What I had done was to delete the contact tracks on the track board page first. I should have deleted them on the article list page and they would have then been automatically removed from the track board page. By doing it the way I did I was not then able to delete those contact tracks k1, k2, k3 etc. from the article list so they remained on it. It's very weird but when I made the new events I had to add the new contact track article with a different number k51 etc. instead of k1 (but wired to the module at #1). Then I was able to move the old k1 on the article list to the trigger spot in the event box. I'm hoping not to have similar problems down the road but for now all is well. Peter.

That's why when people visit and I have them look under the layout and they realize right away that this is NO child's toy. I am no computer expert nor did I ever work in IT but I have worked with computers since 1974. I delayed my entry into Marklin digital until 2013 too. Thanks for your comment. Cheers! Peter.
