Thanks for posting Mike. I never thought of buying a PS1 and converting it to a dummy, but I’ll keep that in mind from now on. I have several dummies. Only had a problem one time with a powered A pulling two dummy Bs and a dummy A plus seven passenger cars up a 2% incline.
I did convert a PS2 (with bad boards) to a dummy. I didn’t keep any electronics in it, but as Brad mentioned, a $2 Evan Designs regulator and a couple of 3V LEDs would do it for lights. However, they wouldn’t be directional.
