Hello all:
It's been a few years now and the overall design of the RCL systems have worked out great. We have logged the worst case scenerios and they seem to be during harsh cold winters. On the beltpack side, only minor issues such as antennas, battey clips, loose buttons. On board mostly 72 to 12 volt converters trying to keep up with the load during winter months. Plan in place to replace with a more robust model, Wilmore. The 3 best 72 to 12 volt converters are: Wilmore, Newmar & ICT. Keep those in mind when you retrofit your Locomotives for GPS, Radio comm, PCT and all other future technologies.
