 However,  I have to say I am disappointed with Lionel for not being able to upgrade and run an engine on TMCC that was a Lionel electronics design/build. This task on finding a similar locomotive for an RS4 or RS5 board, to me, is foolish to say the least.

Hold up. Let me get on MY soap box for a minute.

If I'm understanding things right, you've repeatedly taken Lionel to task in this thread for not stocking a specific board, that came in a third-party product, that uses obsolete technology, that was manufactured 15+ years ago.

Ya see where I'm going here?

It's important to have realistic expectations in this hobby, otherwise you're in for a lot of disappointment. Our hobby's manufacturers are far from perfect. Sure, it would be great if every conceivable part was available for every item ever produced for decades. But that's not a realistic expectation.

Now then...

Lionel still stocks hundreds of RailSounds 4 audio boards. You can find them here:

And wouldn't you know it, they do have the proper board in stock that you've been bashing them for not having:

691PCB114ERAILSOUNDS 4.0 / GENERIC E SERIES $45.00

As John pointed out above, they also have the R2LC and RailSounds power supply board that you'll need to complete your upgrade.

So to recap, the awful company that is Lionel still has all three boards in stock that you need to upgrade your K-Line product that uses an older technology standard and was manufactured over a decade ago.

I need to go now. I think I need a cookie.
