I am at the point in my model railroading journey that I want to get away from Digitrax consisting and move to an NCE style system. This means that the upgrade choice would be the TCS CS-105.

?

On my YD7001, I am using LocoNet T, LocoNet B, ExpressNet and S88N.

The ExpressNet is what controls the ProtoThrottle, so I can switch to cab bus on the CS-105

The LocoNet T can use the LCC to LocoNet adapter

The LocoNet B, I am not sure what is out there for this, but I think there is a board from TCS that let's you use Digitrax boosters.

?

Where I am stuck, is how do I control the S88N devices?

?

I have 1 S88N device wired directly to the YD7001 and the rest are connected on the output of a LN module. Will S88N devices still work on a LocoNet bus that is not from the YD7001? Can I use the LCC to LocoNet adapter and have the S88N devices connected on the end of the bus and will they still work?

?

I know that I could leave the YD7001 on my layout for a layout control bus and have the CS-105 dirve the DCC bus, but if I could reliably get everything S88N working over a LCC to LocoNet LCC adapter, then I would prefer that.

?

Thanks

Heath,

I would suggest posting this question on the LCC users group. You might get some better suggestions over there. There might be someone who already has, or is willing to help with building, an LCC/S88N bridge. S88N is not that complicated, in theory.

Stuart,

You name just came up on my discord () . We were discussing in throttle consisting versus when the cosist get's sent to the command station so I could grab it with a ProtoThrottle.

?

So are you saying that the LocoNet to S88N in the DR4088LN-CS (for example) will not work with the LCC to LocoNet adapter?

?

Thanks

In theory, I think this could work. I doubt that specific combination of devices has been tested before. It may "just work", provided all the devices are configured appropriately. I see you have started a conversation on the LCC group. I think that is the best place to continue the investigation. Here is a direct link for those wanting to follow along:

I have a PR4, so I am considering using this as a test of whether the S88N conversation is done in the DR4088LN-CS.?

thanks?
