I swapped out the SignalSounds board for the Railsounds boards in my baby Pacific. Do I need to swap in the R2LC board for the Railsounds to work, or will the work with the 104E E-unit board in conventional?
Thanks,
Mario

It should work, but only give you the conventional features, no TMCC activated sounds without the R2LC. Also, there may be jumpers to move on the tender mother board for the RS to work. If you have the instructions for your train, there is probably a section that has instructions for upgrading the engine. G

Oh, good call!
I did see that in the instructions, but forgot to change it. I'll do it tonight when I get home.
I do have the R2LC for it, but didn't want to open up the boiler shell to swap it in.
Thanks,
Mario
You should get chuff (if you hooked up the chuff switch), whistle, bell, and compressor sounds. No coupler clank or tower com.

Since there's no way to activate couplers in conventional, and the 104E has no outputs for them anyway, for sure you won't get coupler functionality.
