You know, While I will positively agree that this probably could have been designed a little better, if it works with the transformers Lionel sells today...... Does it really make sense to complain about it to the extent that some are saying Lionel should design new boards and replace the current ones......That being the case, they should all redesign their transformers so I can properly sequence my Marklin ho stuff with them. People have both DCS and legacy for this very reason (mfr incompatability). Strangely enough this problem doesn't seem to be a problem to those guys since it works in both those scenario's.
So, to the 99% that this isn't a big deal to, Way to go, great job finding a solution to a probable mfr incompatability issue!
On the other hand, if these do not work with all the current lionel control systems, then of course they should fix it.
I would also agree that a little healthy commentary will drive Lionel to correct(make these more robust) these for the next issues of these engines.
As usual, just my 2 cents which is relatively worthless these days
PS, any of you guys that want to sell your junk conventional classics, I'll give you a few bucks for them, but hey, the horn don't work so they ain't worth nothing anyway
And just to be clear, most of that neg commetary is on the umm other forum.....
Dennis H. W. Lafayette, IN Too many trains feels just right....
