We have the MTH Rudolph Christmas Train Set (PS2) with a several, but not all, of the series cars. I am tired of the PS2 battery track charging and the clip sound quality is not that great. This was our first set with sounds and we all like the bell and Santa sounds, but the TV show clip sounds seem out of place as station sounds. We kind of expected a mix of traditional station sounds and TV clips. With hindsight, I think getting the revolving car and one of the other cars would have been enough. I have a question in to MTH as to whether the PS3 upgrades would work with licensed items like the Rudolph set (in order to keep the original sounds). Pending that answer, any thoughts on how to dump that battery, upgrade and keep the old sounds, and suggestions on whether to just stick with PS2 and just replace the battery as needed and charge directly instead of via track power.
