Reply to "Master/slave boards for MTH Proto diesels?"

Kerrigan;

I have spent a little more time with the slave unit kit.

I think with some creativity you could actually drive two slave board kits from the lead A unit.

You could install one slave kit in the middle B unit exactly per the manual.

The front B unit would have the 10 wire pass-through cable installed, replacing the 4 wire cable there now. You could likely tap into this cable with all 10 wires of the inpuut cable to the slave board in this front B unit. This would effectively create a "Y" style pass-through cable.

Then theoretically any signals sent by the lead unit board would be acted upon by both trailing B units.

Since the power to drive smoke units and motors comes from the pickup rollers in each unit, there is no additional loads imposed on the lead unit boards; at least I don't think there would be.

Again, I would strongly suggest that you contact MTH for a definitive answer to this question.

Regards,

Rod
