LCC Setup - Railcom

[reinhardtjh]

No, it's not. Pi 4 does fine, a 400 even better. You're right, Raspberry Pi OS can be clunky but I've had few - read "no" - problems with it on a 4B. Anyway, I'm in the process of porting my JMRI XML to a 400 running Ubuntu. Certainly a smoother experience, we'll see if the better but bulkier OS can handle the workload.

I put Ubuntu 20.04 on my Pi 4 which I use as my home DNS/DHCP/NTP and Ubiquti WifI controller. It also runs a DECnet router written in Python.  Works quite well.  So far I prefer the Ubuntu version to the Raspberry Pi O/S

trainzluvr, is this yet to be released railcom board a TCS? (yeah yeah keep your secrets) My biggest concern these days with LCC is the lack of industry support.

Donno if it's a secret, but it's not from TCS (no idea if TCS is working on anything more after their Command Station).

I believe there are other smaller shops that are working on some nodes, but this upcoming Railcom node is from a well known LCC vendor.
