I am wondering if there is a difference between 2 and 3 rail electronics. I have an Atlas 3 rail SW8 switcher that the Railsounds doesn't work in. I recently picked up a complete 2 rail set of electronics for an Atlas 2 rail SW9. I am thinking of using the Railsounds board for a replacement if needed. I have yet to take it apart yet so I don't know what is wrong.

Hard to believe the two RS boards are any different, check the part numbers of each of the boards.
That's what I'll do when I take it apart. From memory all the boards look the same. They're TAS boards and I was wondering also if there is any difference in the command boards between 2 rail and 3 rail. With both engines having can motors I wouldn't think there would be any difference.

Well, the TAS stuff I've used, both the SAW and EOB boards, all use the standard Lionel R2LC and RailSounds power supply and audio boards. I doubt there's a reason for the 2-rail AC versions to be any different. DC is a different matter, don't know about that.
