Yet another PS-3 Upgrade Question...

When you loaded the chain file for the stacker board, did it finish? Should have beeped in morse code at the end and again at first power up.

It was the chain file for the stacker board, right?

Maybe it's not the right file posted?

I see this file under DCS upgrade. I don't know if it's compatible with the chain file. Is it the one you loaded?

Engineer-Joe,

Thank you for the very rapid response sir.

That is the sound file that I loaded (https://www.mthtrains.com/site...4__cnw080408ffin.mth).

The Chain File that I loaded is:  PS32_Steam_Osmk_3528-CPF.zip 

The Chain File was on this page:  https://mthtrains.com/chainfiles

I did get the beeping that sounds like Morse code after the file loaded.

I also opened the tender up (since my original post) to make sure that all of the connectors were seated and the plugs on the leads for the Backup Light and the Tender Marker lights were properly plugged together (they were).  I also made sure that the individual pins on the connectors on the board were seated in their plugs-no change.

did any of the lights work with the factory loaded soundset?

I didn't check the headlight, but none of the lights (Marker or Backup) worked on the tender with the factory loaded soundset.

wait a minute. The steam kit comes with bulbs not LEDs. Well, only the markers are LEDs

What chain file & sound file you used makes a huge difference. Did you use the upgrade files for this locomotive by item number? and as Joe points out, the only LED’s included in the kit are for tender marker ( red ) and class lights ( green ) if so equipped.

Thank you to those who responded and are offering assistance.

I used the headlight, tender marker lights, and tender backup light that came in the kit.  I assumed they were all LED's (my error).

The chain file I used was the one I listed above (there is only a PS-3 upgrade file on the MTH website-no separate chain file).

I re-loaded the chain file I used earlier about an hour ago and it made no difference.  It did make the Morse Code tones again.
