@Mannyrock posted:Ok, but John and D500, how do you find the later BEEPs, with the factory installed better board? Is there a number designation, such as a product number, or an identifying mark on the unit? I really like the looks of the BEEP, and if I could get one that would travel at a decent speed I'm pretty sure it would pass over the track switches without the dreaded pause. A slight hickup is OK.
Now you're asking marketing questions, that I can't answer.
The one I showed you was the one from O-Line Reproductions, apparently the factory selling off production that RMT didn't take at some point. I think if the unit has the tether for multiple operation, it'll probably have the larger reverse board.
@Mannyrock posted:John, when you bought your later made unit, did you know you were getting a later unit, or was it just luck of the draw?
I don't need much pulling power. My trains average about six short cars.
It was strictly the luck of the draw what electronics were in them. Since I plan on modifying all of these, it's a moot point which reverse board they have, none of them will have conventional operation when I get done with them.
