Bonecrusher:
Hello my name is David. Some people call me Bonecrusher, but David is fine too. I'm new to the forum and railpro. I model in G-scale and love doing it with battery power. I have an aristo F-1 A/B unit i want to update with railpro. My question at this moment is, can you use 1 module to control both units? Of course the battery will need to be a little larger.
I'm intending on using the LS- 4 module with a cooling fan. The A/B unit will run together mostly. I'd also like to run smoke, but I'm told it sucks power from the battery pretty quickly.
Any help will be appreciated.
David

My old age. Sorry about the repost of same question.

Hi Pete L.
I live in Arizona and have 1 USA trains loco with RailPro, now looking for information and ideas on installing on an AristoCraft Dash 9.
FarmBoy:
I’m Pat from Kansas. I’m retired, sold house in the city, and now living on an 80 acre farm. Twenty acres hay and 60 acres trees/rock formations, waterfalls and large pond. Was planning to model N scale but downsizing as we build a new house. Woke up and realized I had actually up sized my area to build a G scale layout outside!
Bought my first locomotive yesterday. It is a Burlington Route Gp 7/9 G scale by USA Trains. Plan to run dead rail since pretty rough country to use rail power. Have decided to go with RailPro based on a lot of reading and positive reviews by owners. I want to model Chicago, Burlington & Quincy through Burlington Route, Burlington Northern, and into BNSF. My Grandfather was a certified CB&Q Operator between Lincoln and Omaha Nebraska 1917-1937. He watched steam locomotives phasing out and the introduction of diesel with the Burlington Route Prairie Zephyr that ran from Lincoln to Omaha to St Joe to Kansas City and back daily starting in 1934. That must have been a real sight to see that streamliner screaming through Ashland NE at 70-90 mph after watching steam all his life!
Track layout plan to date is an elongated folded figure eight about 46’ by 12’ with turnouts for industries common to this part of the country (grain, cement, gas, and oil). Also multiple passenger stops along the route. I would like to add a large loop going out into the “wilderness” that surrounds my house for outback stops. I want a switch yard for operations. This will be a mult-step approach over time. Trying to determine if raised rail is the way to go. I’m 67 and the knees and back aren’t what they used to be.
Anyway, I have lots of questions regarding converting my new locomotive over to battery and then RailPro. Also, no sound in the locomotive right now so need to add a speaker. Joining this forum seemed like a logical step in the learning/doing process. Also other questions regarding track purchase but probably better asked on other forums like My Large Scale and G Scale Central.
Thanks for accepting me as a new member. I look forward to our interactions together.

Bryan Good here. Air Force retiree, Buckeye chicken breeder and honeybee farmer. A year ago thought I'd fill my "quiet time" with model railroading. Alaska is what I chose since I picked up a GP40-2 with the new paint scheme some 13 months ago. It has been my goal to accurately run all 16 of their SD70MACs. My dive into dcc was guided by a fellow modeler who was an ESU fan. I quickly became point man for the club when it came speed matching which quickly ate up my time...then I saw a video demonstrating "load sharing" with RailPro.and was hooked. So, here I am. ;D
The Alaska Railroad is my plan; condensed from Seward to Fairbanks. And it starts with one step, then another, and another...
Thank You for this platform,
Bryan
