I recently purchased RS 5.0 boards from Lionel to retrofit a couple of TMCC steamers that I upgraded to ERR cruise M. These engines had earlier RS 2.0 boards. The 5.0 boards I put in the steamers made a huge difference.
I don't believe you can purchase the Legacy boards at this time, however the 4.0 & 5.0 boards can be purchased through regular customer service. Just have a part # available.

Bruce, AFAIK, you cannot buy Railsound 5 boards from lionel without trading one in. Did you have to trade in? If not, what are the part # for the boards you ordered? If I can buy Railsound 5 boards without trading in, I can update/make an engine I have always wanted.
No I did not have to trade anything in. It has been mentioned on this forum that Lionel has relaxed their exchange requirements for RS 5 boards. For the record I purchased an HHP 8 electric 5.5 board 691RS5506b. I misspoke on the steamer boards as they were RS 4E 691RS4E01B / Southern 4-6-2 #1396.
