I have a Williams GG1 that is an outstanding performer, and it can "pull a stump" (as they say), but only has the "true blast" horn sound, and I was wondering if I can fit a PS1 circuit board to it.
I was able to "do a deal" with Gunrunnerjohn and get some spare PS1 boards with sound chips from him last year, and one of the boards he send over was for a GG1.
Can I gut the present board inside the GG1 and install the GG1 PS1 board that will give me loco start-up and running sounds, passenger announcements, horn as well as bell sounds, and proto couplers.
Will I have to replace the original Williams speaker for a MTH PS1 speaker, and will the driver on the PS1 board be robust enough to run these large can motors???
I have MTH PS1 speakers and electro-couplers in my spare parts bin, so replacing the original Williams equipment should not be a problem, but I don't want to proceed if the existing can motors will kill the PS1 board.
Your valued technical input (Gunrunnerjohn/Vernon/JonG/GGG) will be greatly appreciated.
