An early 3v PS2 version claims 'Improved detail' from the original PS1 model
Any idea what the improved details might be?

I own the original Proto-Sounds version of the MTH Class A from circa 2000. Although I did update the original QSI board with a QS-3000 board. This improved the sounds and operation a bit.

As for the details, the locomotive pictured has lubricator linkage on both the front and rear engines. The original did not have these much to my disappointment. The tires on the drivers are also all blackened. I did this on my original class A with a black sharpie. The cab windows on the newer model open and are painted. Although they should be orange, not red. And the tender trucks have chains, which the original did not.

There might be other new details I missed. But those are the ones I noticed based on the photo.
