Reply to "PS 1, 2, or 3 What's your favorite"

Glad I got into DCS during the PS2 era. I converted that horrible clinks and clunks QSI first subway set to PS-2. Lesson learned.

IMO, PS2 is my choice with less quirks than PS3. So far, I only had to install 3 super caps out of maybe 9 PS2 units now reaching 15 plus years. Two of those were ebay purchases. One had a black corroded ground wire the other was missing a battery. I think the stored controlled environment adds some longevity of the original batteries. Had to replace one board on the R-36 WF subway with a PS2/3.

As for PS3’s, I encounter several unexplainable quirks with those. Mainly marker lights, number boards and head lights go out at random, corrupt or blank sound files. Sloppy software readouts in the remote listing features that are not on the engine. Loss of settings on repeatable lash ups. Whoever took over the Bills place screwed up the sounds on 3 of my last new MTH diesels.

PC RS11, CNJ RSD, NYDR 44 TON.

I am reluctant to buy any more MTH engines, especially when they priced themselves out of the marketplace. Paying near or over 500 bucks is not justifiable to me. There are only 2 or 3 schemes I would like to add (BM) and will probably sell some I have or buy used and decal my own going forward. There are too many silly fantasy items being offered these days as well.
