Reply to "Any reason not to harvest PS3 components out of a used 2-8-0 and replace Dead PS2 in a PRR Decapod?"

First, you stated that you have no sounds on this engine, but you do hear it start up after you turn power off to layout. Seems ODD. Is the board in the engine and battery in tender or both in the tender? Something is triggering a restart of sounds, but that really is weird and your PS-2 5V board can be going/is bad. Your not going to resolve it most likely. It plays shutdown sounds but does not save data to memory, so when you go to use it again the address is not correct to the Remote and you have to re-add the engine. Best to upgrade it, but go with the PS-32 board with 5V connectors and new 4 ohm speaker.

But again I am not really following your description completely since you started saying no sounds, so how do you get shut down sounds. G
