Bob's D PS-2 upgrade

Thanks George!  I had to go read those posts so I would know what was said (no telling why you couldn't respond on that one, but I've seen other people say similar things when trying to respond to other posts).

I'm to the point where I only have to install the harness in the boiler, then test things out.  Main thing now is deciding which sound file to download.

I did that very thing for my MTH General conversion, it really helps to have pickups spaced farther apart, solved it's problem going through Fastrack O36 switches.

LOL!!!

I just posted about this on another topic I had started.

Hi Bob;

Interesting! Your other post is the same one I could not post a reply to yesterday. Must be some weird software thing in the site host system I guess.

Rod,

Must be the hurricane doing weird things to the internet

I've got the install complete except for the tach reader, probably the most important piece to the puzzle.

I need to get headlight/taillight castings as well as a few other things for some other projects from Stevenson Preservation Lines and the tach reader from Chuck Sartor.

I had to position the PS2 assy at an angle to get it to fit in the tender, but it does fit.

There was a capacitor across the motor leads, but the PS2 manual said nothing about taking it off or leaving it on, so when I unsoldered the old wiring I took it off.

I also left the old wiring and plugs on the smoke unit.  The one that was in the engine didn't look anything like the ones in the manual, it was a pretty simple design, no traces to cut.
