Picked up the Williams 70-ton locomotive, Trainworld had them for $159.99. Obviously, these didn't sell as fast as Williams thought they might.
Got it in the morning, and by afternoon it was full command control, I used the ERR Cruise Commander Lite and the Gas Powered motorized unit ERR RailSounds Commander. I also gave it better headlights and a command controlled cab light. Sadly, electrocouplers weren't in the cards, the oddball coupler mounts make that a very difficult task. I did it with identical couplers on the Williams 44-ton locomotive and decided I'd never do that again!
Here's the command version pulling a few tank cars on it's maiden run.

Looks great, John. Thank you for the tip; I won’t try putting electrocouplers on my Williams 44-ton when I put in ERR
