If you have a Legacy remote you should be able too run this engine in R100 mode, if the electronics are now ERR, instead of TMCC mode. This will give you a much more controlled start off. Especially if it's now a DC can motor. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

 

Also does this engine now have cruise control, which it should?.

Yep, the Cruise Commander combined with Legacy makes for one very effective Cruise system. As for the start-off, I remember being a bit hot on the throttle in that video. I do have the locomotive programmed for TMCC control; I'm not sure what you mean by R100 although I vaguely recall seeing that somewhere in the settings. Looking through the manual online I can't seem to find it. Let me know more and I'll test it out when I get back from Australia on the 18th.

Nick, 

 

R100 mode is a setting in your Legacy remote, which runs ERR products so much smoother than TMCC will. You will be amazed. I'm going to post a video here a bit later  of a very old Lionel engine that I installed ERR in and you will see how slow the engine will start off in this mode. It's very very easy to change it from TMCC too R100 . Please don't get me wrong, your engine and work that has been done to it is fabulous

 

Stay tuned,

Alex
