Blueline Paragon upgrade
Posted by Hamltnblue on Sunday, April 5, 2009 6:42 PM

I just emailed the BLI parts people a question regarding Bluelines.

I have a Blueline AC6000 and Paragon AC6000.  I want to replace the Blueline's board to upgrade it to a Paragon.  Has anyone here tried this?  The engines look identical and it would be nice to be able to consist them with no problems. Hopefully the boards are interchangeable. If they are maybe they can make a replacement for the other Bluelines to help rid us of the double decoder hell.

Fingers crossed.

 Broadway Limited never has offered the original BlueLine decoders as a user-installable item, and I doubt very much that they will ever offer the Paragon 2 board either.

 I will go along with that statment. I wanted to buy the Decoder for a PCM Big Boy, they never had any. If they cannot repair your engine, they send a new one, they then use your old engine for parts to repair others.
