- This is a video on how I did my upgrade on my PS1 MTH 765 over to PS3.0
I'm sorry but this is a long video, but I wanted to show what all it takes to do this upgrade. I see many people asking how hard it is to do.
Hey chris, what did you do with the old parts? Plugs, boards, speaker etc? If you are offloading it i am interested in the old parts!
Right now I just have them sitting off on the side. I don’t think I’ll be using them at the moment.
Hello from the UK. A very helpful and useful video thank you. I have a 1999 Premier Daylight with Auxiliary Water Tender and a Railking Y6B Mallet to do.
Can I ask a few questions for guidance please?
1 What is the red U shaped fibre looking piece on the workbench that I don't think you used.
2 Are the MTH upgrade kits then universal for any PS1 Steam Engine or do I need a specific one for each of my engines?
3 Do you buy your upgrade kits from MTH direct?
4 What is the thermo grease you use please and why do you need to use it?
5 What's the purpose of the antistatic mat and is it a must?
Many thanks. Much appreciated and has encouraged me to have a go.

Hello Stuart, and welcome to my channel!
I would be glad to help you out with your questions.
1 I think you asking about the shim that if needed to lift the plug in the locomotive chassis so it lines up!
2 they are universal kits and have to be modified to fit the train your installing it on.
4 Yes most of the time or if I know someone who is selling one!
5 It helps with heat transfer and needs to be used to transfer the heat to the heat sink!
Thanks for watching

@@ChrissTrainsandMore many thanks.
More videos are needed on repairing 👍
I have a Dreyfus Hudson upgrade to PS3!
Great education
Thank you! And thanks for watching
I will be doing a K4 from proto 1 to proto in the near future. These videos are very helpful one thing the concerns me on many of these videos is that I don't see any ESD compliance.
That’s why I show the ESD pad in the beginning of the video. And I have the band on my arm hooked to the pad. I hope this will help you out. Thanks for watching!!!
Great video Chris. I like watching upgrades.
Thank you Dave! It was a lot of video to go through and make the video. Thanks for your kind words. And thanks for watching!
Great video Chris, our train community needed this!
Thank you! It was a big job doing the upgrade and then editing all the hours of video. Thanks for you kindness, and thanks for watching!
@@ChrissTrainsandMoreChris I'm in the middle of building 3 new layouts, one of them being postwar if your interested in seeing. 😊
I really liked this. It shows that the PS3 upgrade really is not as daunting as some would lead you to believe.
Thanks. Yes for me it’s not hard at all. I enjoy doing these upgrades on any locomotive. I have been working on all types of trains cars motorcycles real and toys. I also enjoy sharing how to do things , hopefully everyone finds my videos helpful. Thanks for watching!!
Hey Chris - That was a very informative video and thanks for making it. You have a lot more patience than I do. I do have a question though. When you are running the redone Berkshire alongside the Big Boy I noticed that the chuffs per revolution was 1. I would guess that would be the software default until changed.
Thanks! It was a big job but we’ll worth it. Yes I think when I down load the new file it should make the right chuffs per revolution. Thanks for watching and noticing that. I will try to finish this locomotive up soon!
My apologies I am use to seeing esd strap closer to the hand. I see you are wearing closer to elbow.
No problem! Mine is starting to stretch out and I find at my wrist it gets caught on the project I’m working on, and sometimes things hit the floor.

When I repair the next diesel. I’ll make a video right now. All my trains are running.
I only need to replace a BCR in a PS2 in a NS locomotive thanks for watching
Awesome video 😊
Thank you! I glad you liked it.
do you upgrade for customers??
I would for local people. I’m not sure about shipping though since he mail
That way I can show them how it works when I give it to them. Are you in Ohio?
Need more explanation than just showing assembling Don’t see evidence of written directions
The kits are universal and have to be made to fit the locomotive being upgraded. There is a wiring diagram of the board and what the wires should be hooked up to. If you are close to northeast Ohio and need some help I could help you! Thanks for watching!
Proto 3
Yes!
