ON28:
Good to know. My fleet is all TCS Keep-Alives and I have no issues.

Alas, there is no way I can fit a PB into this loco, so a TCS will have to work.

No insight on Rapido, but I know that TCS keep-alives did not really work with RP. Much better to go with the PBs, as I learned.

If you have more than one HC, just remember that only the specific HC that created the link will be able to "see" the linked locos after the track power has been cycled off/on.

that load sharing aspect really sold me on keeping each loco a separate entity

Thanks for the interest and this lot has been sold.  I think accessories that are for the most part like new or never used but I really can only say they might have a little use ?  Original boxes come with these. I have a HC-2 that was in storage for a long time so the batteries had to be changed and it works as it was designed. Cube and iPhone speakers both new and slightly used are coming up too. I'll post pictures when I can, soon.

Sorry, my mind is often stuck in G scale, we have to use multiple lights in cars, and I like that since it "evens out" the light, no single "hot spot".

Of course in HO, one LED might be ok, although 3, 1 in cupola, 1 at each end would be even nicer... of course in G scale we even put smoke units in cabeese! (yes we are sick puppies!)

Yea - not ideal for marker lights, just thought you were doing single light in caboose.

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?
