DD Equalizer in Gen1 MTH diesels w/PS1

CentralFan1976OGR Forum Member

Has anyone done a Digital Dynamics Equalizer conversion on a 1st generation MTH Premier PA?

I have the DD Equalizer and instructions (Thanks GunrunnerJohn!), but the instructions mention that early PS1 units may not be plug-and-play (PNP) using the supplied connectors, and I'm just wondering if this would be the case for my NYC PA1 (20-2018-1 #4200).

Also, if I decide to use it in an ABA set of scale F3s (20-2176-1), can it handle the four motors? I believe that it should be PNP with these units' PS1.

Or am I wrong?

Thanks so much!

Since the slave board interfaced to the reverse board that will be removed, it's hard to see how the equalizer will drive it. When I installed one, it didn't have any mention of connecting a slave unit.

Matt,

You might be hearing from me pretty soon, I'm hoping to pull the shell of tonight to take a look at the board.

I'd like to have it up and running for the Greenburg Train Show in Syracuse April 6th and 7th.

Thanks,
Mario

UPDATE!

I had my LHS JR Junction of Syracuse install the Equalizer board for me and it works great!

The PS1 sounds are all there (Except there's a loop hole in the system that the bell can only be rung in neutral, goes into N by pressing 0), and the front / rear couplers fire! now, if I can only get the cab lights off by remote!

Thanks,

Mario
