I'm very happy with the two PS3 engines I now have. LOVE not having a battery to worry about and LOVE seeing that distracting and unsightly tether disappear. All of my future MTH purchases will have to be PS3.


Alan,
I will do the install. I just want the kit. While my first PS2 upgrade is going slowly, I am confident I could do another. If the unit gets smaller and the battery goes away, I can see doing some Lionel Steam that I find a bit daunting with the current size kit.

Also, from what I think I see in PS3, it may not need a heat sink. IF that is true, diesel upgrades will be much easier. Imagine velcro taping the PS3 to the loco interior, I think the wiring would end up easier as you wont be pulling those pesky bulb wires each time you open the unit. Of course with no battery, hopefully you never open the unit.

Wait! PS3 doesn't need a tether? Do you mean it uses the drawbar circuit board, or do you mean steam speed control is in the boiler?

Thanks
