Good morning all. I'm new to this forum. Recently got reinterested in 0 gauge again after a 25 yr. hiatus... wow how things have changed! I recently aquired several MTH steam units with bad boards... a Railking PRR 2-8-2 with PS2 that throws the breaker on my Z1000 and 2 bantam Pacifics with loco-sound that just sit there and loudly buzz. I've tried other boards in all 3 of them and they worked fine. Since I can't buy these boards direct from MTH is there anyone who repairs them or does anyone have any of the PS2 5v steam or loco-sound steam boards for sale?

The replacement for the 5V PS/2 board is the PS32 board, currently they're only available to MTH repair folks.  Although I have some 5V boards, I'm loath to sell them as I can't really warranty how long they'll run.  I keep them around to fix my own stuff when a 5V board fails.   The PS32 board is a direct replacement for the 5V PS/2 board, but the form factor is slightly different, and the connectors are in different places.  Normally for a steamer with the boards in the tender, that's not a problem.  However, for locomotive mounted boards and some diesels, some "adjustment" of the wiring harness may be needed for the connectors to reach the mating connectors.
