Hi Folks,
To give you all a little background, we entered in a licensing agreement in 2018 with Lionel to be the sole, worldwide producer and seller of ERR components, including R4LCs. We independently procure these boards from a manufacturer designated by Lionel. We have stocked up on many of these boards (Cruise Commanders, AC Commanders, Mini Commanders, Railsounds Boards and R4LCs) in anticipation of chip obsolescence which is taking place now. The life of the product line will be limited, which is why we urge customers to stock up on what we sell so they have supply for their future needs. These are not Legacy level boards, only TMCC.
If you want to stock up...
For clarity, we are not an electrical engineering company or team. We have no experience in using the ERR components to upgrade other manufacturer's models besides 3rd Rail / Sunset Models, but our Dealer Network is experienced in this, and you can search the list on our web site above to find one that suits your needs. We do use the OEM versions of the Cruise Commander, R4LC and Railsounds Commanders in all our 3 Rail Locomotives. I might be interested in offering some limited repairs of R2LC as it's seems pretty simple. But I think the R4LC is backwards compatible for the most part as a replacement for the R2LCs.
