Great post Ron!  Very informative, thank you!  What size LED’s did you use as replacement lights?
also, I have a LM-3S module I will attempt to install in an O scale locomotive (Adding sound too).  Can I use this or do I need the LM-3S-G or LM-4S-G?
thank you!

I use 3mm LEDs.  But I figured out an alternative for the Class and Market lights which are smaller.  Watch this video on my BL2.  I keep calling them 2mm LEDs in the video , but they are 3mm.

The LM-3S has sound built in.  However, that may not work well for O Scale.  It's meant for HO, On30 and maybe S.  I used the LM-3SG on the Weaver SD40 and the new LM-4SG on the BL2.  One simple board for sound and control. 

I absolutely love RailPro.  My only complaint is it take three different button pushes for an Emergency-Stop.  There has been some discussion about putting either a physical button on the next version of the remote or at least a screen button that only needs one push.
