@Mallard4468 posted:What is the cutoff for determining 5v vs. 3v PS2? Is there a simple rule of thumb that one can use when looking at an engine at a meet?
When at a swap meet, the rule of thumb would be to look at the charge port. PS2 5 volt uses a female Jack plug, while PS2 3V uses a two pin connector. ……MTH did not have an exact cutoff date where everything is clear as a bell, you need to know what you’re looking at…..another crystal clear adaptation is the advent of the wireless drawbar, if it’s PS2, and has wireless draw bar, it a definite PS2 3V…….nothing on the box or the locomotive itself denotes 5V or 3V,…..you have to look for the clues…..I can post up pics after coffee if that’ll help you guys….
