Title: mapping the new Rapido E8A functions
Post by: cws on August 29, 2026, 11:18:10 AM
Greetings from steamy Florida...

I'm running one of the new (beautiful) Rapido E8A passenger locomotives and it's pretty amazing. 

I pulled the DC jumper and install a LM-3S-21 and set the motor current.  Horn, bell, engine, etc. all seem to operate as intended.

Now I'm trying to figure out a few more things, specifically:

why do the number boards flash when I turn them on?

The front light option controls the Mars light.  How do we turn on the headlight (F0)?

There may be other options to apply in the future.  the operating manual covers the standard F0-F28 options.

unfortunately the manual defers to the LokSound options... shouldn't we be creating RailPro options that can/should be implemented? 

thanks!

Carl
