Description
With the help of the BLI Paragon 3/4 (P34) adapter board, H0 tender steam locomotives from Broadway Limited (BLI), that came with a Paragon 3 or Paragon 4 decoders can finally be equipped with a LokSound 5 decoder without much effort. All you have to do is open the tender, remove the standard Paragon 3 or 4 decoder and install the BLI P34 adapter board. All connections can be retained: The type and position of all plug connections is exactly like the factory-installed decoder. No soldering required. The locomotive tender coupling can also remain. The locomotive itself does not need to be opened. The LokSound 5 decoder can communicate with the electronics built into the locomotive using a serial protocol and directly control all smoke and light functions. An integrated PowerPack ensures uninterrupted operation even on dirty rails.
The BLI P34 adapter board requires a LokSound 5 decoder with 21MTC interface. From firmware 5.9.159 this can output the required protocol replacing SUSI. Appropriate preconfigured sound files will gradually be made available on our website.
To easily replace the circuit boards installed in H0 steam locomotives from the US manufacturer Broadway Limited, a replacement circuit board with a 21mtc interface is ideal. A PowerPack is included on board.
