You are a great instructor; this is exactly the information and details I need. I also watched your touchscreen video. Could you make some more? I have watched this twice in detail today and you have given me all the knowledge I need to get this going on my layout. Thank You.
Thank you! Glad the videos helped you. I plan to do some more videos soon. I recently dismantled my old home layout and am in the process of building a new one. I’ll have many opportunities for more “how to” videos.
Thanks for this! I'm using a z21 command station and the official Android app for it just keeps crashing on my phone and my tab. It was suggested to me to use the Engine Driver app instead as it basically runs off JMRI, which I was already using to program my locos. Engine Driver picked up my loco roster immediately, but I hadn't done a layout panel with a turnout table and didn't really know where to start... Thanks to your video, I've now got my turnout table sorted pretty quickly and the Engine Driver app is happily operating my entire layout!
Great video, it helped me figure out curves. I watched another PanelPro video but his curve demonstration was sort of confusing. For those complaining that this video is too slow, you can go to video settings and adjust playback speed. x1.25 and x1.5 speed work fine.
Hi Jim, I'm trying to find some help. I got my system set up to the point where I had a nice looking panel that correctly controlled all my turnouts and also correctly showed all the block occupancy as I drove a locomotive around. I saved frequently (after each step). When I unplugged the DCC system and then came back to it, nothing worked. The panel still looked the same but there was no block occupancy information and it would not throw the turnouts. Do you have any ideas what I might have done wrong?
Sounds like JMRI is not talking to Loconet! Make sure your connection to Loconet is hooked up to both the DCC and the computer. Reboot the computer and reload JMRI. If those don’t fix it, turn on the Loconet Monitor, then turn off the command station, turn it back on and watch for a bunch of activity on the Monitor. If you don’t see anything, I think it’s still a problem with getting JMRI hooked up to Loconet. My email is jimwor@earthlink.net
@@jimworcester981 Thanks for the prompt reply. I’ll try again tomorrow and see what I can discover. I forgot to mention earlier than when I restarted JMRI, I got a whole load of error messages (one for every section I’d programmed).
Well, those error messages are suspicious. I’d really have to see them to be able to start troubleshooting. It is usually a simple error in your work somewhere that can cause a whole string of errors. I would suggest that you save to different files every time you make some new changes so that you can always return to a system that worked before.
When I am drawing on a new panel and I have started three or so blocks to the right and down four or so blocks down and then draw several turnouts and maybe a line or two my layout editor screen will shift my layout symbols from there to the bottom right side of the screen. What am I doing or why is this happening?
I think there has been an upgrade since the video was done. At the top left under File will be “Store ALL table contents and tables”. To reopen after starting Panel Pro, under File will be “Load table contents and panels”. (Took me a while to figure out.)
interesting info but explanation is a bit too slow and a bit faltering, maybe a bit better preparation so ... but I did learn something from it, so good beginners movie.

This is the "panel editor for dummies" video that I've been looking for. The pace was perfect for someone like me. Thank you.
Glad it helped!

Thank you for sharing how you do this. I have learned so much and feel like I could do it now.
Thanks for this!

I’m glad it helped. If you picked up only that one little hint it should save you time in drawing a far more complex layout diagram.
great video - thank you!
Glad you liked it!

Hi mi friend. Great video. I have a cuestion. I am trying save de proyect, but i don't have the option. What can i do? Thank so much from Chile.

My turnouts do not move when I click the sketch
