Does anyone have a sound file for a Leslie RS3L/S3L/SU3L Supertyfon horn?  This is probably the most commonly used horn family until recently. UP, BN, ATSF, SOO, MILW, MKT, CNW, KCS, EL, RDG and others used this horn. The Prime PM-290 is identical.

I need one for my SOO SD40-2.

Note: I have files for a Leslie RS3K and a S3K (the S3K is a D# Minor chord, while the S3L is approximately C, D#, A), but they need the loop part edited down to 1 second and I don't have the skills to do that. I could easily live with a S3K file. I just need that Leslie honker sound to stand out from my Nathan K3LAs.

Of course, if someone wants to edit them, I'll share the files here.

Since you need the RP system to set up the LM and also "release" it to DCC, It would make more sense for people to just change the decoder, with the limits in the RP under DCC... i.e. they need a RP controller to make this work... That's more money than a new decoder. (yes you can use the computer setup, but that reduced cost would be offset by the hassle to have the system installed and online to basically do any changes).

If I want to sell a locomotive with an LM-3S installed can it be advertised as being able to be operated using a DCC controller (DCC compatible)?  I have no experience with a DCC controller, but know that a locomotive with an LM-3S can be set up to be controlled by one: sounds, lights, movement, etc.  But, I have read about how complicated consisting DCC locomotives can be and I know how easy it is do so with LM-3S locomotives.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible for a DCC controller to consist an LM-3S locomotive with a locomotive with a DCC decoder installed, or with another LM-3S locomotive: or if there are any other points of incompatibility trying to run an LM-3S locomotive with a DCC controller?

Generally speaking, yes.

RailPro, like DCC or any other command control system if the locomotive is sitting on a piece of track connected to the power supply with nothing to isolate that power then the locomotive is "on", ready to receive commands from the controller. If you don't want the locomotives to receive power while on a certain yard track then you'll need to isolate that track with a toggle switch of some sort. Other that troubleshooting or you have some sets of power you really don't use except once in a blue moon I don't see why you want to do it, the power consumed by the locomotive module while just sitting there waiting for commands would be negligible.

Thank you for the replies. I ended up pulling all of the original control components and replaced them. I replaced the lights with LEDs and the entire project went much better than expected. The key for me was (as mentioned) to remove all of the original components and start fresh. The battery the customer wanted wouldn't fit in the tender so it was placed in the trailing boxcar. I used a 6 wire JMT connector between the loco and tender and am looking forward to doing his second unit.  THANK YOU RailPro for making things easy.
