ps1 couplers and err?

YES YES and YES. LOL

But the ding dang plug on the MTH is to big to fit in the socket so you have to get the plugs from ken so the stupid things will fit .

Most of the TMCC stuff was modular including all the accessories, lights, couplers, etc. The plugged in using relatively simple plugs.  Just before TAS decided not to do it any more there were modular wiring harnesses that would have cut assembly time considerably
Here are some pics of the E-couplers I install on my set of Weaver E-8. It took an exacto knife to release the small pins from the white plastic modular end.


Assuming the wires are long enough these two assembles should plug into the board. FCP front coupler, RCP, rear coupler.  ERR used the same plugs at least on the original Beep upgrade boards that had the couplers involved.


But the board easily could be installed either direction. So you had to be careful about plug-ins.


This early Beep board had coupler plug-ins. note to the far left on either side of the board. ERR install in a Rich Yoder GE 44 tonner. Yes, I got it wrong the first time. Silly little thing does have an "F" on one end, Forward. I had to reverse the plug-ins.


Couplers are fabricated from Atlas articulated couplers used on their SW series.


Atlas has a nice detail piece that covers the electro couplers.

Boxcar Bill has the wires with the proper pins already crimped, all you have to do is get the housings and splice the wires.  I've done a number of PS/1 to TMCC conversions, and I always use the existing couplers, they work fine.

wow thanks so much all of you!

 

now to clear it all up for the end of the day does the dc/ac comander cover all i need or do i need other boards to have couplers and tmcc control maybe smoke ? and to be sure i want to get the sound board!

 

cheers ,chuck!

is there a spell check in this chat room?

I don't know what your putting it in but this is your best way to go.
This is the site address for ERR . There you can see the product and also study the actual manuals for installation and operation
Another thing that will be there that's most important to you is their phone number
I've never called that Ken didn't answer my question and instead of asking us what you need you'll be going to the horses mouth saving you alot of money.
Good luck.

  We have the wires and the housings.

MTH uses connectors with .1" spacing. Very common on US made electronics for decades.

ERR and new Lionel uses 2mm spacing (~.080").  Just like fasteners, everything is evolving to metric.
