Railsounds 4 vs. Railsounds 5.0 Question

C&O AllanOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Hi All,

I am getting a Lionel PRR T1 (6-28063) and plan to install a Super Chuffer along with the new Chuff Sensor to get 4 chuffs per revolution. Listening to the engine on YouTube, it sounds like it has a UP Whistle instead of the PRR 3-Chime Whistle. I want to upgrade to a Railsounds 5.0 Chipset to get the better sound and the Virginian Berkshire (6-38077) is very close, so that is what I was going to go with.

The question I have is can I simply pull the RS4 board and replace it with the RS5.0 board? The Motherboard is different, but the Railsounds Power Board is the same. It also looks like the RS4 motherboard has a third board for the Infrared Receiver. I am asking because I want to know if I need to replace the Motherboard as well as the sound board or if I can simply just get the new RS5.0 board and replace the RS4 board with it.

Thanks in advance.
