PS2 and Loco-sound repairs and replacement parts

you would have to replace the boards as the old ps 2 5 volt boards fail and can not be repaired when they just die! how much do you want to spend ? new boards are not cheap ps 3/2 boards come in steam kits with harness's and all needed to upgrade or asc tech can just replace your boards with ps 3/2 boards!

Contact one of the many MTH trained techs on the forum.

your engine30-1241-0  would need ps 3 steam kit installed and then you would have full DCS and sounds etc just like your 2-8-0 engine did! some tech's might be able to install board in engine but ii is  a tight fit in engine! if board can be put in engine would cost less ! asc tech can install kits around $250.00 to $300.00 depends what techs you ask price varies !

No sweat installing the PS32 board in the 30-1191-1 Pacific, which is a 4-6-2 BTW unless you posted the wrong number.  Since the PS/2 board is in the tender, there's plenty of room for the replacement board.  You also don't lose the extra controls afforded by the MUX boards that this locomotive uses for extra lighting controls.

As Alan says, the Locosound one would need the full upgrade kit.

Thanks to everyone for the follow up.  I was able to pickup a PS2 proto sound board for $110.00    Still looking for a loco sound board.
