Scale Trains with RailPro in the future?
« on: April 17, 2020, 11:02:32 AM »
Did anybody else catch that yesterday during the Scale Trains live feed?  At the 48:55min mark Shane mentions RailPro in a list of other systems currently in product development.  This would definitely be a great way to get more people interested in converting.

Well if they're going to rely on that platform then I guess I'm not going to watch the video, however if they are working on RP inclusion in their models I hope that means a 21 pin LM is in the works. We can only hope!

His comments leads you to believe they have each manufacturers' control equipment presumably for testing their trains. I didn't hear anything that would indicate anything RailPro specific is coming from Scale Trains.

You beat me to it. That's what I understood also.

Well thats embarrassing, I see that now.  I had checked out at that point in the video and was paying attention to something else when I heard "Blah Blah Blah, Rail Pro, Blah Blah Product Development."

Sorry for any confusion.

No worries. At least it is nice to know Scale Trains recognizes RailPro.

I spoke with Shane at the OKC Train Show back in 2016 or 2017. I was asking about locos being made available DCC/Sound Ready for alternate systems like RP and we was well versed on the product back then.
