Obsidian, unless it failed, I would never consider "upgrading[?]" a PS2 to a PS3. I find the former to be a more solid performer, and by using a supercap, I have eliminated the battery. That said, what would be the market for DCS equipment---boards, remotes, TIUs, AIUs without also having a loco line? I would not in passing that for persons who operate only conventional, like postwar Lionel, a TIU plus a remote gives you walkaround control. I had that for several months before getting my first PS2 loco back around 2002, and it was a drastic improvement in operating. I didn't have any AIUs then, but adding AIU(s) to a conventional layout would mean that you can turn blocks on-and-off and throw switches, without being tied to a control panel
