MTH Premeire Protosound 1 board replacement Bogus!
Posted by RRaddict on Thursday, May 24, 2012 9:49 AM

If anyone has come accross the problem of some MTH Protosound 1.0 locomotives not working with their own Z 500-Z 1000 transformers and if you collect MTH trains you probably have.  If you give MTH a call they will tell you that you need to replace the top board and sound chip.  That is bogus as you only need to replace the sound chip.  I have done this on three Premeire locos and it has worked every time.  MTH still has plenty of chips for 37.50 so if you have this problem give this a try. I did order PS 1 chips for RK locos instead just in case.

Can't stop working on the railroad!
