21 pin

Hello
Not sure if anyone has tried this before but some locos are equipped with 21 pin plugs. (I absolutely love the latest Rapido release and I am planning to buy one, but it's 21 pin)

I am sure there is a way to use Railpro with this loco without sacrificing light effects ? Right?

Has anyone tried it?

Okay! That's nice!

Question is now, does it reduce some lights output? Like the numberboards, the ditch lights, the headlight, the back light etc..?

Thanks

Antoine

I recently did a Bowser SD40-2 with a 21 pin. Those Bowser SD40-2s do not have a lot of spare space!!

I couldn't get everything to fit in the install (LM, KA, Speaker, etc.), so I had to sacrifice the rear light as installed by Bowser. If memory serves, I also had to pull the light baffle for the class lights, but I can't recall at the moment (I'm at work and the unit is at home). If I get brave, I'll remount the SM LED for the rear light, but it's not a game changer for me.

The headlight and ditchlights work as supplied by Bowser. I haven't set-up anything else at this time, but I presume it should be workable. I'll pop the shell later this week and let you know.

Antoine L.:
did you use the 21 to 9 pin wire or hardwired everything?
