Frequently Asked Questions:


Which models can accept a GoPack?

HO Scale Paragon2 and Paragon3
(Revision E and lower Paragon3 decoder boards) can have the GoPack
added via solder points. The solder points for the aforementioned
decoders are under
Technical Update Bulletins
on our website.

HO Scale Paragon3 models (Revision H and above Paragon3 decoder
boards) have a socket to accept the wiring from a GoPack making it a
PlugNPlay device with no soldering involved.


There is no GoPack for N Scale models at this time.


How do I know which decoder board revision is in my model?


If your models box has the Accepts GoPack logo you have a
Revision H board installed.

If your model's box has this
logo on it, GoPack! is plug and play.

 


If you see the small socket directly next to the speaker output
socket on the decoder you have a revision H board.


If you look at the top of the decoder, you will see HO-300-X
whatever is in the place of X is what your board revision is.


Which models are GoPack Ready for plug and play operation?


Models with the Accepts GoPack! logo have the Revision H or above
board (which means it has the socket), and weve done the work to
ensure there is enough space under the shell for it to fit under
there.


Will the GoPack! affect my ability to program on the program track?


Programming on the mainline is no problem with the GoPack! However,
if you'd like to read/write CV's on the program track in Paged Mode
and/or Direct Mode you can either set CV221 to disable the GoPack!
and then let the capacitors discharge (Revision H decoders and above
only) or for a solder type installation you can either wire an
On/Off switch in-line, or unplug the wiring from the GoPack! socket
while programming.


Can I send my revision E decoder in for a Revision H decoder?


Yes, no problem and just a $20 S&H fee (or $35 International) its
a one-for-one swap as long as the Revision E decoder is working when
it arrives. If the board arrives defective, there is a $99 fee for
an out-of-warranty replacement decoder in addition to the cost of
the GoPack.


Can I send my model in for you to add a GoPack for me?


Yes, there is a flat rate $89 fee (in addition to the cost of the GoPack!) that covers all parts, labor, and
shipping back to you for this service. You would be responsible for
shipping the model to us.


Can I use the GoPack on models that were not manufactured by BLI?


Weve not tested for this, and would not guarantee any compatibility
with other models.


Which BLI models cannot work with the GoPack?


Blueline, PCM, and QSI equipped models are not compatible with the
GoPack only Paragon2 and Paragon3 HO Scale.
