Greetings From A New Member,
While new to this wonderful group, I'm a veteran model railroad enthusiast currently in "O" scale. Here's my dilemma. I have an older MTH PRR K4 Pacific (item number 330-1115-1) with First Generation Proto Smoke and Proto Sound. Several years back, she quit smoking AND running so I put her away with the intention of having her repaired. Fast forward to today. I pulled the shell and removed the PC Board that controls the smoke and engine functions and I tested the motor separately using a DC transformer from an old HO set I had laying around. The Motor Works Just Fine. It's my understanding that these early PROTO SMOKE boards went bad and I think that is where the problem is. Here's where you guys come in. Where can I find a replacement board or a complete smoke unit that I can bolt right in and get this rather nice K4 running again. BTW, before I took the board out I put some power to the engine with the tender connected the PROTO Sound started working by sounding the 3 bells before going into "Reset Mode". Any Help will be greatly appreciated. I really could use an exploded parts diagram and parts list as well. Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!
