I have a MTH PS1 locomotive and all the features work with my small Lionel 80-watt transformer, the CW-80 with FasTrack, and even a 40-watt transformer I got in my first set! I don't know about PS2 but if it works basically in the same way as PS1, it will probably work on your transformer. Long live the BNSF .... AND its paint scheme.

Even quoted part from MTH. What else did he need that was not provided Just giving him information to look around to help him make his own choice. I use both site and get alot of good information from them both. Reply tmcc man Member sinceApril 2005 From: North of Philadelphia 2,372 posts Posted by tmcc man on Saturday, November 5, 2005 9:35 PM I have tmcc, and it worked well with my PS2 engine. I did not run the PS2 engine as much as I should have, and the board went. Other than that it was perfect with the TMCC system. All functions worked well, bell, coupler fire, whistle etc. Oh, [#welcome] to the forum.

It worked well, and I suggest that you get a newer transformer.

OK Colin, I have to ask, how did not running your PS2 engine have anything to do with the board going bad [?] The PS2 engines do not have any of the problems or designs that caused some of the early PS1 engines from scrambling chips.

Just what I heard. Were they lying to me? Colin from prr.railfan.net Reply spankybird Member sinceApril 2003 From: Willoughby, Ohio 5,231 posts Posted by spankybird on Sunday, November 6, 2005 8:22 AM sounds like it. Replace the battery with a fully charged one and see what it does. I am a person with a very active inner child. This is why my wife loves me so. Willoughby, Ohio - the home of the CP & E RR.

I put an e unit in it, and sold it. I put a new battery in it, and it still did not work. Well, it is gone now. Colin from prr.railfan.net Reply spankybird Member sinceApril 2003 From: Willoughby, Ohio 5,231 posts Posted by spankybird on Sunday, November 6, 2005 9:05 AM Are you sure it was a PS2 engine with Full Command DCS [?] Do you remember the Item number of it [?] I am a person with a very active inner child.

The set is the 686 bantam passenger set, PRR, cannot find the number, though, it is not on the operation manual, but it is compatable with dcs Colin from prr.railfan.net Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Monday, November 7, 2005 4:06 PM A question for tmcc man where did you get the cool smily face eating pop-corn??????[bow][:P][banghead][{(-_-)}][#welcome]...>>>>>glennbob Reply Edit tmcc man Member sinceApril 2005 From: North of Philadelphia 2,372 posts Posted by tmcc man on Monday, November 7, 2005 4:23 PM glennbob, I got it from chad thomas, just right click on it, then click on properties. Write down the URL, and put it between the froum code img, and /img, remember to put the [ ] on each one. Colin from prr.railfan.net Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, November 10, 2005 9:59 PM Thanks to everyone for their responses. Just got the engine on the layout tonight and it's got to be the coolest thing I've ever had. I've seen PS2 demos at the train shop before, but it's different when it's at home. I do have a question though, can you increase the volume of the whistle? The chuff drowns out the whistle pretty bad.

I think you can only change the individual sounds and other settings like chuff rate acceleration and deceleration with a DCS system through the remote. You could take it to a layout with the system and “tweak” it there to your liking. Reply Edit Join our Community! Our community is FREE to join.
