Can the A-R1 reverse module work with any 12V DC transformer?
G8B4Life:
Yes, PLuX22 is the 22 pin connector. Technically it is 21 pins like the 21MTC but the blanking pins are in different spots (and pin assignments are different) so they are not compatible.
TCS doesn't have any PLuX22 adapters. The only one I've found, if I'm correct in reading their material is this one: https://tams-online.de/epages/642f1858-c39b-4b7d-af86-f6a1feaca0e4.sf/de_DE/?ObjectID=53342634.
The Roco specifications said the model had a PLuX22 interface. They could have put in the wrong info but I doubt it.

Yes, you should be able to convert any of your old loco's to RailPro. If any of them are DCC ready then you might just need an adapter harness but if they are not DCC ready you will need to hardwire. If they are not DCC ready the biggest thing to look out for is if the motor is isolated from the chassis (ie, not using the chassis as a common between the pickups and the motor).

HI, I am hoping that the wiring is the same as DC to DCC, correct? - thanks - John
G8B4Life:
Yes, it is the same, though the LM's have an extra JST plug to accommodate the extra outputs.
This wiring diagram for the LM-3 is here: http://ringengineering.com/RailPro/Documents/LM-3Instructions.pdf, it will show you what wires you need to hook up to what part in the loco. Note that the LM-3 does not come with the 6 pin harness included, you need to buy that separately. The LM-3S does come with the 6 pin harness included.
