Does anyone have any schematics for building a testing board (Similar to the one at this link: http://service.trainz.com/tools/index.html).

I scored about 16 boards for various locos at a ridiculously low price.  I'm assuming based on the other lots that were offered at auction that these were all removed when locos were upgraded to PS2 and kept around since they were still good.

Even if they're all junk, I only paid like 20 bucks for all of them, so it was worth the risk.  I have a few PS1 locos from a while back, and a few Lionel locos that would fun to upgrade.  I have an old SW-8 and an EP5 from Kline and Lionel, and two of these boards have SW and EP sounds!

So I'd like to build a test board and test out all the boards at once and see what I've got here.

You don't really need a test board.  When PS/1 stuff comes onto my bench, I just dump out my assortment of little PS/1 cables, etc.  Of note, their test board doesn't actually allow testing diesel boards directly as they don't have the 4-pin tether they're expecting on that bottom connector.  If I truly got a lot of PS/1 that I had to work with, I might consider formalizing the test set.

I just have this assortment of cables and components, I hook them up and away I go.
