Do all PS2 systems have smoke outputs? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Hello all,

I have a MP-15AC PS2 without smoke that would like to donate it's electronics to convert a FA-2 PS2 slave to a lead unit.

A) Do all PS2 systems have smoke outputs?

B) Has anyone ever converted a slave to a lead unit?

Thanks for your help,

Scott

All PS-2 boards have connections for a smoke unit.

You will need to acquire a smoke unit and the plug in harness.

No problem converting a slave to a lead unit.

You will have to move some of the harnesses from the SW to the FA. As an example, the FA slave does not have a tach reader. So that needs to be added along with the 7pin harness that includes tach reader wires. Also, the harness for connecting to the normal Lead A should be removed. You don't want to plug this into another lead A after conversion. G
