MTH SW-1500 couplers from PS-2 to ERR

Hello Keith, this is Brian from Gage Okla, you will need to change the pigtail

from Mth to ERR. You can order them. And yes the proto-couplers will work

with the ERR board. I have done most of my fleet to ERR TMCC. If this is your

first, take your time, it is really fun to do. Hope al is well with your family!

Here are some numbers to compare. The MTH connectors have a .1" spacing while ERR and Lionel uses 2mm or .081". 

Lionel/ERR measure 8 ohms. MTH PS2 measure 2.5 ohms. MTH PS1 measure 5.5 ohms.

PS1 couplers would be a better match but I would defer to Bill's experience. The signal to open the couplers is only a short pulse which is likely the reason the R2LC is able to tolerate the lower resistence.

The PS/1 couplers work fine with the R2LC, however the PS/2 couplers do not.

Thanks for all the help on the proto-couplers.  Rock Island we are doing great, I hope you and your family are like wise.

If I have problems with the proto-couplers I plan to MU the SW-1500 to a K-Line MP-15 that is a TMCC dummy with Lionel couplers.

Thanks again for the help.
