Steam Engines with Boiler PS2 Boards - Directly Replacing 5v PS2 board w/ 3v Board

DdotCdotOGR Forum Member

Speaking of the original Premier 5v Dreyfuss Hudson and FEF Northern from same era, can I simply drop in the 3v PS2 board as a replacement for a blown 5v board in each?

I have a few good 3v boards I can use.

I'm hoping to be able to simply drop the 3v board in the 5v boards place (inside the boilers, not the tenders) and convert the connectors to the 3v molex plug in style instead of the 5v (or is there a kit for this?).

How is this done? / Can this be done? ...Or is a PS3 "Upgrade kit" in order?? I'd like to avoid spending the money on PS3 and just keep them PS2 3v with what I have available.
