Inductor in PS2 upgrades

It prevents any interference on the DCS signal in the engine potentially caused by the CV Board.   G

Used to come in either the steam or the diesel upgrade kits.

I understand that loco is a bear to upgrade due to need for the tether to go out the boiler front end.  How're you getting on?

GGG - Thanks for the info.

RJR - The installation was surprisingly easy compared to some of my recent Lionel and K Line PS2 conversion projects because a lot of original components are re-used. The tether part was easy - the 10 pin locomotive receptacle exactly replaces the old 4 pin PS1 receptacle at the smokestack end and the new 4 ohm PS2 speaker directly replaces the old 8ohm PS1 speaker in the Vanderbilt tender. The tender is now a bit crowded though!

Everything went fairly well until the last step, when the sound file wouldn't load due to a suspected processor issue on the new PS2 board. It was frustrating to find this on a brand new, sealed PS2 unit that I had kept a specifically for this project but GGG is going to try to rescue the board.

Thanks.

Be sure to check the engine socket assembly that it is not shorting out. There is usually not enough room in the cavity that holds the socket without milling out a bit so the 2 diodes don't short out on the chassis.
