Reply to "Question Regarding Any Upgrades for a Southern PS-4 Model 6-11103"

The following is the response from Ken at ERR to my original email above:

The Cruise-M was made for a certain type of Lionel engine, and that did not include Odyssey. Since then Lionel has produced many versions with Odyssey, and in typical Lionel fashion they are all different.

Pins 1 & 3 on the J1 board are both 5 volts and are common on the board.

I don't know what you have on pin 1 of J4. One thing for sure is it definitely needs the 10-pin connector with the serial data wire from the R4LC as shown on page 10 of the instructions. That is serial data and causes the engine to run away when not present. Wire on pin 2 of j4 is not used.

When using a Legacy controller be sure to enter the engine as a Cab1, not Legacy.

Because they are all different there is no standard answer I can give you.
