There is not a dislike for the kit, but my point was original PS-2 engines should be repaired as original. PS-2 5V steam especially premier, had the boards in the engine to benefit from direct wiring for all the various lights a premier engine has. Without being limited by the 10 wires of the harness. Later 5V and 3V used a mux board to gain additional engine feature. PS-3 Steam has 2 boards, one in tender and one in engine a data line tells the boiler board what to do.
Plus retaining the ability to easily do maintenance. The original harness in the FEF allows the shell to be disconnected from the chassis.
You could have taken the 3V connectors off the Upgrade kit board, put your 5V connectors on the PS-32 board, and then installed it where the 5V came out. Replace speaker, and remove battery connection and left everything else alone. Just the mechanical work of mounting the new board. G
