Here is a thread showing how to replace the batteries: https://rpug.pdc.ca/index.php/topic,1445.msg10570.html

They plug in, no soldering required.

RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / Re: Charging HC2 battery question
« Last post by trainman605 on Today at 06:11:08 AM »
I just tried to charge my HC-2 after letting it set for some 9 months, it will say Done and the battery indicator will be White for a short time and then start flashing Red. After a short time the screen will turn off, I can unplug and plug in the charger again and the screen will do the same thing again. Note here I can not turn the HC-2 on with the button, but it has come on at times for a short time, one to two seconds at best and then shuts off. I feel my batteries are dead and will not take a charge, I had it plugged in overnight with no results. Should I replace the batteries, or just send it into Ring and have them do it, plus they can also checkout the HC-2 for it operation. Are these batteries a plug in type, or do they have to be soldered in, what are the voltages and does this battery have a model number. I can probably do the replacement, but if sending it to Ring is better I would rather do it that way. Thanks for any info you can give me. trainman

Thanks, I will try it.  Right now my locomotive is with a club member.  Originally bought as track power and he is doing the conversion for me,

You can use the Railpro Bitmap Builder to easily make a picture of your locomotive...

General Discussion / Non-compatible Cl-1
« Last post by darryl.trains on April 26, 2024, 04:00:55 PM »
Bummer as I haven't used the Cl-1 in a long time. Forgot my Apple computer does not recognize RP...  I last used RP on an old PC but since that was quite sometime ago that it might not work.  Now when I think of it, I did a clinic way back, maybe five years ago on RP as I have everything to show but one of my buds had Apple and was not going to buy a PC to be able use RP. Some didn't like the idea of dumping all their DCC decoders. All did like a concept of RP..
Back to the drawing board...I have to download some sounds.. :)

General Discussion / Sound file B-mann On30 50 Ton Diesel

After asking around and sending a note to Ring, I received a message back within a few days. While there is no file to download with this specific engine there is one close enough. Ring said the ALCO 359T is close. Well that will work so anyone having this engine, this is it.
Thanks for listening. Cheers from this part of Arid-Zona,  Yuma

Hello my name is Nick 
Been doing G scale since 1990, been doing revolution since it came out and installing Phoenix sound with it.  Now with Phoenix no longer in available did a lot of looking for replacement and here I am starting up with Rail Pro, bought 2 controllers and 4 modules to start out and join this site to learn more about it on here and issues that I might get into. Plus looking for other Rail Pro users in Wisconsin or near by and see what they have done      Thanks    Nick

RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / Re: Brake function
« Last post by snowdog on April 16, 2024, 12:22:16 PM »
Hey all,

I've been in RP for a while, I'm trying to operate more realistically. Case in point, when rolling down a grade, dynamic brakes does not function as dynamic brakes (yes, I'm aware it's a sound). So I thought I'd add braking to the lead locomotive to simulate braking action but that does not work. Also, the brakes do not hold when accelerating from a stop (similar to the load function). There is the premise to my question. Thanks for the inputs.

I cap some locos at 75% of top speed account ham-handed operators, but also enhances braking action, at least to me.
