So I know that in general tenders should not be interchanged between different engines due to the variety of possible incompatibilities-
That said, I’m specifically looking for guidance for a single scenario-
I have a 3rd Rail NYC ESE that I have just finished upgrading to PS3 (photo is prior to upgrade, ignore the cabling shown)
I would like to have an optional PT tender to swap with it, and I’m currently considering purchasing an MTH 20-3059-1 J-1e Hudson with PS2, which I believe to be a 5V board.
My plan is to just do a complete PS3 upgrade to the J-1e Hudson, then the tender swap should be a no brainer.
My question is this, I know very little about the stacker boards, would a tender that has been upgraded with the PS3/2 stacker board be fully compatible with my PS3 upgraded ESE engine? Could I save money by just getting the stacker board?
