It looks the same. So if there is a draw bar in place the mod might be easier. If the older unit has a tether, a PS-3 mod will be much more involved.
PS-2 3V and PS-3 are available. So are PS-2 3v with 5Volt connectors to make a back fit to a PS-2 5V unit easier.
PS-2 Kits were on hold to ensure sufficent parts for production engines and repairs.
I think it will be a while before PS-3 kits would be out, if even needed. I think the PS-2 3V mod is easier to deal with for engines without PS-2 at all. To many upgrade options wouldn't make a lot of business sense, at least not to me. G
I see your point, but since PS3 is a drect replacement for PS2, you could discontinue producing PS2 kits and go with the lastest technology. That,I think will make good business sence, for them.
Also, if a dremel will cut through the base of a lionel or mth boiler, I'd buy a few kits with the drawbar coupler. If the Christmas set with PS3 pics I saw were accurate, they have the old wire tether... Please tell me MTH is moving to all drawbar tethers..
