RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / LM-3S-21 and Keep-Alives - Rapdio Mo'Power
« Last post by CPRail on January 24, 2026, 04:55:59 PM »
Hi Group,

Doing up my first Rapido loco with their Mo'Power "keep-alive" capacitors. I know you can hook up a PB-2 or a TCS Keep-Alive to Pin 16 (+) and Pin 20 (-), but seeing as this loco already has a "keep-alive" in it, I figured maybe I don't have to add one.

Got the module and speaker in, but the Mo'Power seems to be more like No'Power.  :-\

Has anyone done a Rapido loco with the Mo'Power unit or am I blazing new territory here?

For reference, this is a GMD-1 and here is a so-so photo of the stock set-up, with the Mo'Power unit highlighted. I can get better photos, just tell me what you need to see!

Thoughts?

Bill,
What does a special order look like to someone like me?

Thanks, Bryan

Email me a list of what you want and I'll get you a price.
Nothing is in stock, so timelines are not fast.

Storage space on handheld controllers is limited. They will show an error message when attempting to load a file if there is no room left. The HC Simulator has a lot more room than the handhelds.

The LM's also have limits with the newer modules having more room than the older ones.

Absolurtely!!!

Hi Snowdog,

I presume you mean loading the files from your computer via a CI-1?

In case you weren't aware, loading files from the computer takes ZERO space on your HC!

I can do special orders only at this time.
The border issues last year killed my ability to keep a US warehouse.

So where you would use one LED, you use 2?

How's that working for you in marker lights?

To me, add ONE component, a 4 terminal full wave bridge for a buck fifty, is easier and simpler than paralleling a bunch of LEDs throughout a car, and I have never stuffed TWO LEDs into a marker light..

But YMMV..... Greg
