I agree Marty, the PS/3 steam kit or any PS/2 loco is easy to add LED's to, and the connectors are big enough that they're easy to work with. The tiny 1mm pitch connector on the PS/3 boards is a PITA. It uses such tiny pins that it sometimes takes me a couple of tries to get a good crimp! I don't know what possessed MTH to go to such a fine pitch connector, it just invites problems! Lionel has the 1.5mm connectors on Legacy, and they're small enough. It's not like the PS/3 board HAD to be exactly that size, at some point you have to consider that someone has to work on these things!
