1) Will Locosounds steam locomotives run on DC?

2) Is the smoke circuit on all PS2 boards? I got a FA-2 PS2 and is It just a matter of adding a smoke unit? How about to the B and A dummies? Does the wire running through carry signals to trigger/control the smoke units?

3) On my FA-2 only the last coupler on the Dummy A seems to be operating. I reckon that is right though. But suppose you had a switcher, would both couplers work independently. Would that be something you could add with a PS2 conversion.. I have an RMT S-4 that I really like but the couplers are way to long and I was thinking about replacing them anyway.

Yes and no.  It would run, but the whistle would constantly blow.  LocoSounds is meant for AC input power.

 

Yes, the circuit board has the controls using PWM to control heating element and smoke fan.

 

Yes PS-2 can support 2 couplers.  For AA or ABA diesels normally the Front on the lead A and the rear on the Trail. Diesel upgrade kit has 2 couplers.  G
