I'll share this for what it's worth, probably nothing, but then I would hate for this to work and not share it. I had an RS#3 that I had problems programming. Spent off and on two months trying to get it to work, even tried a different decoder. I got messages anywhere from can't read cv's to page mode and it would not program. It finally turned out to be something as simple as not enough weight on the engine when I was trying to program it. All of the engine weight is in the shell of the RS3 and there simply wasn't enough weight left with just the frame for it to read the decoder. I applied a small amount of pressure with my finger on the trucks of the engine while on the programming track and it programmed. Maybe we'll get lucky and this will help.<br /><br />My sound equipped MP15 got a could not read cv message but still programmed. I model the L&N also. Good luck.<br />Clay Smith<br />Hopkinsville KY
