Tale of Two MTH Premier Atlantics | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

GGGOGR Forum Member

MTH made the Atlantic in 5V and 3V. When the 5V board dies your going to have a tough time upgrading it. PS-32 will not fit. Attached are pictures of the 5V speaker forward and 3V where MTH had to mount the board on the side and move speaker to rear to get it all to fit.

I was able to sandwich a 3V in to a 5V tender but all the dimensions are critical as the tender shell has switches and wires attached and they have to clear also. Not for the novice upgrader. G

Hmmm. Mine is a PS2 from 2007. I suppose it has a 5volt board. Maybe it would fit better if the coal load was cut out, and an new very overfilled coal load was added. Yuck.

Sorry, I'm a little punchy after my J 611 and TIU ordeal.

Thank you for the heads up!

2007 locos had 3-volt boards. Look at the charge port: round = 5-volt; rectangular = 3-volt.

Definitely the old proverbial 10 pounds in a 5 pound container.
