Receiver/Locomotive
Combinations
|
| A list
has been compiled of known combinations of locomotives and
specific receiver types. This list is being expanded all
the time as we learn of successful installations made by our
customers.
To the best of our
knowledge the receiver listed is the best one for the
application. Please send corrections or comments to
Shawn@Rail-Lynx.com.
In addition, if you have made an installation that is not
shown on the list please send details via email to

Sensor Board
Installation

| The
optional Sensor Board is designed to provide a secure mount
for the pair of sensors provided with each Receiver.

of these Sensor Boards. |

|
Installation Service |
| While the
installation of sensor and receiver in a locomotive is not an
unduly
difficult task. However, at times it does require a
little ingenuity in smaller engines and especially in steam
locomotives. Therefore, you may prefer to have someone
else do the installation for you.
See the Installation Service
page for details of third parties willing to provide this
service. |
