RS 4.0 Board fix and Atlas upgrade | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

GGGOGR Forum Member

Just finished upgrading a pair of Atlas GP-35 High Noses TMCC/RS engines to PS-2 and smoke. These engines are extremely nice and despite the compact design the smoke unit and PS-2 fit in nicely.

But one of the engines did not have TMCC sound working before the conversion. So I swapped out the boards and found out the RS board with chips was the bad board.

After a close inspection I found the audio amp had a blister. So I picked off the number, ordered one and installed it. Fixed the board and now it works fine.

So if anyone has bad Railsounds boards it may be repairable with a new audio amp. G

I can say that G does great work and repaired a board for me that was toast. He shipped it back very fast and at a great price too.
