Thanks Simon, it’s amazing actually how easy the Z21 is on most things, it’s such a good system. I have found myself doing things again thinking it can’t be that easy! Cheers for now mate, John
Hi, just watched your update of the Z21. So easy! But, a question, do I have to download the Z21 maintenance program too. I've looked at it a couple of times but can't be bothered to trawl through the 81 pages of what, to me, is mystifying. Can I just tap the Update box and it'll do it automatically??? thanks
Hi Simon. I have the Z21, can you connect your programming track to the main layout, if you can isolate it from the main line when programming a loco. Regards Mick
¡Hola buenas tardes Simon! I'm currently using a Hornby Elite DCC controller however, my layout design makes it physically difficult to control trains from a fixed location. The Z21 has been mentioned to me by several fellow modellers and, after finding your channel and, Z21 videos, this system really does appeal to me. What make and type of DCC units do you use for controlling your point and colour light signals - I assume these have a generic firmware which can be used with this type of control system? I have SUB'D and, will obviously be following your layout build videos from now on. Stay safe and well. Un saludo. Gary
Updating my z21start with the updater simply killed it. No way trying to reset it, i does not work as indicated in the manuals. I have had to buy another z21 in order not to lose all the programming of locos, layout, lights, routes, etc. Think twice before commiting yourself to this system, a real pity, since the app, phone or tablet, has some excellent characteristics.

Thanks Simon for making it easy to understand.. I have downloaded the app and will update my z21 when I get back home.. Dave

I have read a post from one person where the update wasn't successful and the app no longer worked.
They haven't mentioned if they found a solution.
