LM-1

<< < (2/2)

KPack:
The other big factor to consider in using the old LM-1 is that the storage space is very small.  None of the new sounds will fit.  The LM-2S is twice the storage of the LM-1, and the LM-3S is twice the LM-2S.

If I were you I would get either some LM-2S's or LM-3S's and enjoy the new sounds and improved motor control.  You will quickly outgrow the LM-1 and will wish you had bought some of the newer modules.

If no one wants LM1s and their resale price bottoms out you could use them as DIY accessory modules. All sorts of animation duties on the layout come to mind.

That’s kinda my thought process. I’m looking for a dirt cheap way to get a bunch of locos running. No sound, no fancy lights. Long term plan would be to replace with LM3S. I probably will try to grab the one on eBay, if anyone else has some they want to part with for cheap, let me know.

Be mindful if anyone decides to recycle LM-1's into accessory modules there is no Accessory program for the LM-1. This means the LM-1 will always be under the Locomotives screen and can not be placed under the Accessories screen in the HC. You also will not be able to download or write your own Accessory project to load into it.

My LM-1 has been repurposed to control a double crossover. But, as Tim mentioned, it is listed on the locomotive page.
