Before I ask the questions check this out. I bought an MTH Light Mikado Proto-2 when they first came out. They were first shown in Vol. 1 in 2002 catalog so it's been awhile. It's been boxed for all these years. I just took it out of the box about 1 week ago. I saw it was Proto-2 and my heart sank when I remembered it had a battery. I put it on the track and fired it up. Surprise, it fired right up and the sounds came on (even the crew talk) right away and were as clear as a bell. I ran it around my loop and it ran great. I didn't want to take a chance on the battery dieing so I replaced it with a BCR. It still ran great and sounds were even a little better.
I read somewhere that there were 2 different batteries for Proto-2 and I know there is a separate BCR for Proto-2. The BCR I used was one of the first BCRs that came out. Not a BCR for Proto-2. My question is will that BCR hurt the electronics? Like I said before the engine runs great with that BCR in it. Just want to make sure it won't kill it if I keep running with that early BCR in it.
Thanks, Rick
