Does MTH still support the 5V PS2 repairs or is this out of their repair support window? The USRA switcher is now dead for unknown reason, except making power up sound then immediately power down sounds, no lights, no movement and DCS cannot find it (bummer) . Don't know why it died as I was extremely careful on replacing the tether wiring on a grounded static mat and insuring nothing was pinched and all plugs were seated.
If no repair, and repair facility will not touch it, wonder if any more recent vintage USRA switchers would mechanically fit/work if I switched the loco and tender shells around, as I would like to retain the road name.
I have contacted MTH repair by fax and e-mail but no reply. Will try calling and see if anyone can assist. Don't mind sending it back for 6-7 week wait if they can repair it.
