I have a general question about the Proto-Sound 3.0 Upgrade Kits mentioned here: https://www.mthtrains.com/news/571. These are specifically items 50-1911 and 50-1912.
1. Do these kits use the so called "PS32" board?
2. Is it right to say they are designed for Proto-Sound 2.0 3v sound files? If yes, why on page 33 of the upgrade manual say that the user must download a Proto-Sound 3.0 Upgrade Sound file?
3. Are the upgrades mostly geared towards owners of older original Proto-Sound locos (PS1)? Or are they more for people that want to install a command system in a conventional locomotive, like older Lionel or 3rd Rail ones? Or both?
4. If I have a Proto-Sound 2.0 (3v or 5v) locomotive and the circuit board dies beyond repair, are the "PS32" boards (sans the rest of the upgrade kit parts) what a ASC tech would install as a replacement board?
I know this is probably covered elsewhere, but after reading all eight pages of this thread and searching the forum I can't find answers to these specific questions.
