In the past few layouts I have built, Always used 22 ga solid wire for track drops and accessories. Always worked fine.
I had a large spool of Solid Telephone, use sections of that.

Hi Chris - Welcome.
I dove back into HO after a 25 break, Railpro looked better than DCC for me also. I have converted 4 Loco's so far, they are neat to operated.
Still have to try the sound loading thing... next on the list.

I just edited and loaded (or though I thought) my Sugar Pine #10 Shay whistle but no sound comes out.  The file plays as a wav file on my computer just fine.  I can see the file on my handheld controller.  But alas no sound.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Richard

Where a sound is greyed out / doesn't play then the sound file that the page links to doesn't exists on the server. There are quite a few of those.

If a sound is grayed out on the RP site is there a way to audition it before taking the time upload it to a hand controller?

No, if a playable sound is not on that page then there is no a way to hear it without loading it to a module.

Hello everyone my name is Chris.
I starting an HO layout for first time in 40 years. I want to use Railpro on it. It looks like the easiest to setup. Any tips would be appreciated.
Thank you for letting me joining.

Interesting. If they are grayed out, then I would think they should be removed.

Yes, that is where I've been.  Most of the steam whistle samples are grayed out and don't play.

I'm currently editing the whistle from the Sugar Pine #10 shay here in California in DAW.  I'm hoping to add it to my Bachmann 3-truck.  Fingers crossed that it works.

RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / LM-5S-G decoder.
« Last post by jebouck on March 17, 2026, 10:36:24 AM »
I have at least 10 G scale steam locomotives with the older version decoder. I recently bought two of the new LM-5S-G pre programmed
by the vender to light steam.
I am unable to find the set up screen for setting up the magnetic chuff sensors.
My HC is updated. When I look at one of my older decoders, the screen shows up.
What am I missing?
