Yes the MTH PS-3 steam kit, but they are not back in stock yet.  I have done that upgrade before.  This will be a PS-32 kit retaining bulbs.  You can load a PS-3 SF though.  G

Ok great.  I would like a o up grade it and also I have two other locomotives from mth that need repair. I have a Mohawk and a nyc 20 century limited Dreyfus

Ok it a proto sound. Conventional train. It’s a old primer mth blue comet very detailed

They all need boards so if you have mth ps 3 compatible boards for these trains. I’ll send to you

Yes I have PS-32 boards in stock to repair PS-2 5V and 3V engines.  I also do component repair of boards.  Email in profile to contact me.  G

Go for it, Trirailguy!! The Premier PS1 Blue Comet converted to PS3 makes a fantastic locomotive even better. Here's mine, converted by Marty Fitzhenry in 2018, running on his layout:

I have a Proto 1 Scale BC that was converted to Proto 2 with no issues.  I bought it for parts to complete a more accurate post BC version I'm working on in 2 rail, but it looks so nice I may find another one as a donor. 

I say go for it as well.  My premier blue comet was my first ps2 upgrade I did when the kits first became available (2004 time frame?).  Straight forward upgrade and a huge performance improvement.  

I can still remember how impressed I was with the smoke unit performance after the upgrade with synchronized chuffing. I still have the engine today and it still runs fantastic after all of these years.  Only regret was not upgrading the class lights to a color other than red.

Trirailguy - I find your comments interesting as I'm in the same boat.  Do you know the product numbers for the 3 engines that you're contemplating having upgraded?

Thanks.
