RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / Lighting for Bowser C-636 with LOK decoder
« Last post by DJRCPR on December 28, 2025, 10:15:46 AM »
Installed a LM-3S-21 into a Bowser C-636. Swapped out for the board and easy-peasy, we are good go. Basic functions working, playing around with the lighting trying to get the configuration correct if anyone has done similar. Playing with the pairing and have class lights flashing, but trying to figure out ditch and non flashing, dim. On the sheet for the LOK, it says AUX 1 and 2 for ditch, but that doesn't work.

Got h Bowser to work, had to re-seat the board as it popped up. Might have to try and swap out the 3S, might be a cable issue.

RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / Can't add new products
« Last post by DJRCPR on December 28, 2025, 09:13:56 AM »
I tried adding a couple of new products and they are not being found.
The first is an LM-3S, and at first it said found, but it doesn't appear on the loco list to complete the install. Tried it again, unplugged the module, tried to find it again and no luck.

The second was a new LM-3S-21, installed in a Bowser. Which was the best so far with a drop in to the board. However, it's not coming up under find products. Anyone else have the same issues?

Okay, I'll see what the person doing the editing on the files has set-up. Fingers crossed!!

I have had this issue and it ended up being a setting in Audacity. Unfortunately, I can't recall which one. I just went an looked at my latest project from almost a year ago and nothing jumps out at me.

The settings on the track I am exporting is Mono, 44100Hz, 16 Bit PCM and in the export box, the encoding drop down is Signed 16 Bit PCM.

RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / Issue with making custom sound file

Hi Group,

I'm trying to load a custom horn file (which I've done before) and I get an "Error - Format not PCM!" message. The specific files are in WAV format, 705kbps bit rate, 1 channel (mono), sample rate is 44.1 kHz. From what I can tell this is all correct as per the Ring manual for the RailPro Assistant.

What am I doing wrong?

It does look easy to replace the batteries. Unfortunately I’ve already sent the controllers to Ring Engineering.  Next time.

The Batteries are not hard to replace.

Had this happen to me too.  If you let batteries sit too long they slowly loose charge then did. He told me to pull it out periodically and charge it.  I now do that every 3 or so months. And do the engine batteries too.

Thank you. It is more than that. Ring Engineering says batteries are bad.
