Try this on atlas but came up with no answer to my question. I was wondering if there is a company out there that has aftermarket circuit boards that can be purchased for loco's. After paying to have one repaired, I decided that I would be fixing the next dead horse myself to cut cost. What I am looking for is a good speed control board and sound board combination that could be used in all of my loco's making the a uniform system and easier to trouble shoot and fix Then I could interchange boards for trouble shooting and have extra boards on hand to fix them. (one set of boards fixes all no guess work to my under standing there a lot of different boards for different engines. What I am looking is a speed control that well have a lot of low end speed control. and a sound board that with just engine sound,bell, whistle and not sure if the auto coupler is in this board but would want this option I don't really want freight yard sound or any of the other options because I never use them on the loco's I have now so why buy that option. My next option after the one dies is to gut the boards and make them DC. simple toys are more fun. I have a small layout in O so dcs system isn't really worth it to me. I also maybe making a outdoor garden railroad next summer and how well the eletronics hold up out side. (moisture and humidity) could gutting be better for this. I know at this point I am asking myself why I didn't go 2 rail. Thanks
Well Roger, you might try TAS. http://www.tastudios.com/ I understand they have speed control boards. I am into 2-Rail DC myself and will be using DCC. Hope this helps. Greg
