Reply to "PS-2 used to control TAS Smoke unit"

Put 2 MTH resistors in the smoke unit, in parallel. You can solder them together under the PCB and stick 1 set of leads through the PCB to connect to the PS2 output. You don’t need the thermistor and you can cut the control circuit off. The circuit board just becomes a seal. Just drive it with the PS2 board. I did this along time ago with an atlas loco that had a TAS unit in it.

I think Forest wants to use the protection circuit? I'm a big fan of these smoke units. When working right, they prevent the wicking from burning up. I pulled one apart in my Kline Berk installed 15 years ago and no charring what so ever. Didn't even bother re-wicking. You should be fine using the smoke unit as is, connect the turbo smoke unit directly to the PS2 board to use the full protection. remove the wires from the fan and wire fan to the PS2 board.
