LM-3S-21 Module compatibility with different manufacturers

<< < (3/3)

Smoke:
We can add Bowser to the list of locomotive manufacturers that are truly plug and play with the LM-3S-21.

The locomotives that I have personally tested and are plug and play with the LM-3S-21 are:
Athearn Genesis (MP15AC and SD60E)
Rapido (B36-7)
Bowser (SD30C-ECO)


I have been working with Tim (G8B4Life) on seeing if we can get a Scaletrains locomotive to work without any modifications and so far, no luck. We can get partial light outputs from the Ax functions, but not fully bright lights. I reached out to Scaletrains to see if they had any additional information but all I got back from support was "ESU is the only decoder that works". I did not receive a reply to my follow-up email where I included a bunch more information I have gathered.

LVRR1856:
Great Smoke ! I Just bought a RS-3 LVRR Hammerhead, in DC/DCC ready .... going to RP it up soon.

Good to know they play well together. Did you have to change the lights out ?

Smoke:
I did not change out the lights, they worked without any modifications with the LM-3S-21. The model I tested had an ESU V5 decoder so I pulled that out, replaced it with the LM and everything worked. Took a few minutes to figure out which lights went to what Ax outputs, but that's it.
