Craig, thank you for the photographs of the instructions. They look straightforward, but offer several variations! I like it!! 👍🏻
That was certainly quick and easy. I programmed the Weaver RS3 and the video shows the results. Actually it runs even slower, but I had trouble setting the speed and holding the smartphone to get the video. Thank you Bob, Pete, Craig!!
Great job Mark! All I can say is you all are a lot braver then I am! LOL

Looks great Mark. Glad it was a simple fix.

Thank you, Mike and Bob! I was half expecting it not to work the first try, and I would have to do it again. That is what happened on my two PS3 upgrade file loads.

I was disappointed with it when I got it, but I should have known a reprogram would help.

Looks like a really good speed Mark. Nice job. 
( instead of holdoing the smart phone get a phone holder with an adapter and and mount it on a tripod maybe?

Thank you, Dallas! You have a good point. I can tell some some others are using a tripod and some kind of holder because their videos are so steady. Also, if I had just done a runby with the engine already moving, I could have just left the remote sitting on the layout, hands off.
@RSJB18 Great job on your Weaver RS 3!
”I'm very pleased with the results and the install was simple compared to doing a full ERR or PS3/2 stacker. Safe to say I'll be upgrading more basic engines with this method.

Funny your simple scared me off. Thinking about all those connectors that you were dealing with.

Those little plugs do look intimidating. I bought ready made harnesses as recommended by GRJ. Much better than trying to build them from scratch. Just not worth the aggravation. 
In the case of the LC boards, the plugs are labeled so it's easy to know what to connect to each.
Thanks

Well if we didn't spend sooooo much time on the FORUM getting a plethora of ideas for our layouts we would have more time and peace of mind to DIY.
God speed Bob.

It’s the ideas that get me into trouble; mainly my own, e.g. I had the brain storm to create an elevated subway track. It eventually turned out ok after two years of aggravation. That’s when I coined this phrase; and someone liked it so much they made a simulated needle point. It’s now hanging at the entrance to my train room.

Nice work Mark! I have absolutely no idea about the inner workings of these locomotives and I appreciate what I learn from the members. Heck, I had no clue what a BCR was until I heard it from Mr. Muffin’s latest York video.

Thank you, Gene! It's like someone who doesn't understand the inner workings of their car. You don't have to understand it to use it. You just need to know who to contact when there is a problem! 
Took the RS3 apart last night to fix the rubbing of the flywheel against the cab interior.......Missed by about a 1/8" so now I have to take it apart one more time........
