Can you run a ps1 engine with a ps2 engine if you are running conventional?
Original Post
PS2 conventional has speed control as default. PS1 does not. Copied from a PS2 manual:
M.T.H. engines equipped with Proto-Sound 2.0 have speed control capabilities that allow the engine to maintain a constant speed up and down grades and around curves, much like an automobile cruise control. You can add or drop cars on the run, and the engine will maintain the speed you set.
While the engine is programmed to start with the speed control feature activated, you can opt to turn it off. This means the engine s speed will fall as it labors up a hill and increase as it travels downward. It is also affected by the addition or release of cars while on the run. To maintain a constant speed when speed control is turned off, you need to adjust the track voltage yourself. When speed control is off, the volume will drop to allow for better low voltage operation. Full volume is restored upon reactivation of speed control.
To turn speed control on and off: First, put the engine in neutral, then press the transformer s Horn/Whistle button one time then immediately press the Bell button two times. Two whistle blasts will indicate that the engine has made the change. Repeat the 1 Horn/Whistle, 2 bells code to return it to the other state. You will want to do this during the initial neutral start-up if you ever couple this engine with another.
