Swapping ps1 board with ps2 board

Protosound (PS1) and PS2 are incompatible.  You will need to gut the PS1 and install all of the boards from the PS2 locomotive.  Also you will need to swap the electrocoupler - they also different.

And the speaker.

Okay so it can be done, but just to be clear all the boards, electrocouplers, and speaker need to be taken out of the railking f3 and put in the premier f3. I just wanted to make sure the trucks and motors were compatible before taking them apart and realizing I couldnt do it.

Thanks for the help!

You're also likely to have to either add more wires to the connectors or lose features.  For instance, I suspect that PS/2 starter set doesn't have smoke.  It also likely doesn't have all the lighting features of the Premier.

Buy a PS-3 Diesel kit and upgrade it right.  You will get into a lot of head aches unless you understand all the difference between PS-1 and 2.  G

We did also gloss over the fact that you have to move the tach reader and supply a new mount.

This is the best advice, while moving the RK stuff can be done, it's going to be a lot of work with an uncertain outcome.
