I've been looking for a solution to getting deadrail and Bluerail into a big premier steam, but the decoders that I've been interested in don't seem to be up to the task of running the big Pittman motor.
It struck me that I have a RK Hudson with functional PS3 board. I feel like I could transplant that board into the R2 and connect the Bluerail directly to the PS3 board somehow and rub in DCC mode.
Anyone ever tried that? Would the PS3 board object to being asked to run the bigger motor? Does the PS3 board have "standard" DCC inputs that I can solder to?
