I also am intrigued of adding the LCRU to control the RS2 in the B-unit, since I figured it was once conventional. I know that controlling RS1 is hit or miss (even if you have the ERR sound converter), but if RS2 boards can be controlled without the converter, that opens up a few more options - the Santa Fe Mikado, Conrail SD60M, and Milwaukee Road SD40 from 1994 are a few candidates I can bring up that would do wonders with the addition of TMCC to control the RS2 in them.
The LCRX worked with the chip and board in the 6-18122 B unit because it had the chip and board used in the ACL F3 released in early 1996 which had TMCC from the factory. It was just sans LCRX, so it worked with the added LCRX.
From what I understand Railsounds 2 systems released in 1994 and early 1995 do not have the capability to be controlled by TMCC via a LCRX. Only the late 1995 and newer Railsounds 2 systems have that capability.
