Guess I am screwed with a blown up board? I was extra careful putting in a BCR2 and somehow put in the anaconda cord between tender and engine upside down. A few garbled sounds and then the transformer breaker went off.I am very upset.

Yes that is very bad. On some models that allows you to place the AC Input power on the DC output of the circuit board. Depending on how long power applied, that usually wrecks the processor board. It can be tested and you may get lucky with a component repair, but otherwise you will need new boards. G
Thanks GGG,I have the engine boxed up to send away for repair. It should be around $250.00 for new boards right? Not alot more than that or is it?
I guess it depends on who is doing it? If the repair station has PS-2 3V boards your looking at $120 for a processor, $80 for a Power Supply. Or some combination if they do component level repairs. Normally the Power Supply can be saved, but not every has the skill set to do that.
IF they don't have PS-2 3V boards your looking at a PS-32 replacement board and that cost $230. Plus labor and shipping. G
I have a few sets of ps2 3volt boards in my stash
I will keep that in mind Matt. Thanks and thanks to GGG too.
