Hi all,

I have an odd question, but maybe someone will know. Santa brought my son a
RailKing Daylight Limited Set with Proto-Sound 2 about 2 years ago. We
haven't used the set in about 6 months and I want to charge the battery. I
bought an AC Charger for it, but didn't label it. I have a few AC chargers
lying around and DO NOT want to use the wrong one.

Does anyone have a charger that they can look at? None of mine have the
usual MTH model numbers on them, so that's why I'm not sure if I have the
right one. I have one with a model number of DEV888004, Outpout is 8V DC,
1A. Not sure if this is the right one.

If anyone charges their Proto Sound unit and would be generous enought to
tell me let me know the marking (model & Output) that's listed on their AC
charger, I would be very greatful.

Thanks,
= Steve

It's always a good idea to stick an ID label on chargers _when_ you get them,
it saves this sort of problem.
Now, if anyone can identify the seventeen odd chargers in the bottom drawer of
my work bench ... ;-)

Your charger should look like this:

! Hardly definitive. MOST wall warts look like that.

Thanks for the help folks. I found the right charger. It'll surely get a
label so that this doesn't happen again <smile>.

MTH Proto 2 engines have 2 different charger cord ends depending upon

if it is the older Proto 2 8.4 V or newer Proto 2 3.3 volt
system.....

Buy the MTH Proto charger with 2 cords hanging off it...... about
$16..
