Unbox & run our MTH Premier O Scale loco preordered from Stockyard Express in 2022!

[@TheLEMRR]

What preorders are you eagerly awaiting? I ran this loco all weekend and REALLY love the newer sound set. The older PS2 variants pretty much sound like SD40-2's, so these newer PS3 units sound much nicer, and prototypical IMHO. Together, they sound great since no two locos sound the same in real life. I hope you enjoy!

Great engine and the layout is really coming together! I grabbed these as well. I didn't like the horn off the bat as I swapped mine with one from the older SD35's, but I def agree with the improved engine sounds. Enjoy!

[@TheLEMRR]

@pointstrains appreciate it! I’ve changed horns and prime movers in a few of mine as well, but I’m going to leave this one alone. I might actually change the PS2 unit’s sound file though lol

Hello my name is calvin. I was wondering if you know anyone that will upgrade a ps2 steam engine to ps3 for me. Please let me know. PS your video's are good. THANK'S

[@TheLEMRR]

Hi Calvin. Converting from PS2 to PS3 is as simple as replacing the main board located in the tender. MTH sells the PS2/3 stacker boards on their website. If you have a 5v PS2 board, you may want to do a full PS3 upgrade which would entail changing all the harnesses and lights to LED, since separating the main driver board and the sound board is nearly impossible without causing damage. If you have a 3v PS2 board, it is literally a plug and play swap as all of the harness pins plug back into the new board, along with the updated heatsink mount that MTH sells. Separating the power board and sound board is easy on the 3v board sets. If you aren't personally comfortable with the swap, most authorized MTH dealers have a repair tech on their payroll and will offer that service as well.

@@TheLEMRR Thank you for the information, I'll give you the first time try.

[@TheLEMRR]

Hope it turns out well

Made in China? Count me out

As is your right. I wish they could be affordably manufactured in the USA.
