Has anyone successfully installed a PS3 (or PS2) in a RMT Beep engine. Can it even be done?
It would make a great engine to do light switching.

No flywheel on those motors, so it wouldn't work out for PS3/PS2.
However TMCC works nicely in these! ERR products is the the place to get the boards.

Someone modified one to add a flywheel and did a single motor version with PS/3. Given the size and traction, I think two-wheel drive would be problematic for this locomotive.
I have a couple of them with TMCC, the one I used as a demonstrator for the then-new ERR Cruise Commander Lite prototype board. I went somewhat "over the top" with the lighting. I also added weight wherever I could to give it more traction. Finally, I got rid of the traction tire as when you run over insulated tracks, one wheel wasn't enough for reliable operation, the traction tire had to go.
Here's the thread where I detailed the mods to upgrade the BEEP.
