Add ERR Forum?...UPDATE 5-23-2018....

Great Thought

You've got my vote!

Great idea.

Excellent idea!

I think that is an excellent idea!

Would also like to see pre&postwar eras combined split off into their own section...

Yes: from Train Room Gary

We can help each other with the installation  process or find members who do the install process.

Gary

Add my approval.  I have some questions about what to order, but don't know the best place to ask.

Sounds good to me.

Great idea !!!

I think with the recent changes, an ERR forum is probably justified.  Good suggestions John.

I like it. 

I think it's a good idea.

Makes sense ..............

May be the first time ever I have disagreed with Gun Runner. I would not want to see ERR installation and configuration separate from TMCC as a whole. There is just too much overlap.  The fury over ERR's demise and 3rd Rail's distribution agreement will soon pass and that topic will go dormant in due course. Then we end up with two or more tracks for TMCC installation and configuration discussions. I still see questions related to Train America Studios and Digital Dynamics and TMCC repairs to Lionel equipment, imagine a separate topic track for each of these. It would make it more difficult to keep up with all the TMCC and other control systems discussions going on.   J

Alan and I have seen this thread.

Before we make a move like this, we are going to check with Lionel and Scott Mann at Sunset/3rd Rail to be sure that all parties are OK with it.

Thanks Guns, Rich & Alan.  I hope you guys are able to proceed.

Sounds good to me on all counts! Thanks for both suggesting and consideration! 

I agree with GRJ.

Surely no one will force us to read an ERR forum if one is started.  There are several forums on here i never been to.  However, this one makes sense.

Count me in.

Sounds good to me ...I know I've asked the pros a lot of ERR install questions!!

I am all aboard for this ERR forum.

OGR, Make it happen.

This is a great idea, John.  And, as Rich points out, to have input from Scott from the start can be very valuable.  All in all, the knowledge of many Forum members and those of Scott and others, this could be a source as no other for all.

I agree with GRJ's original suggestion & this suggestion.

We will consider making “it happen” if, and only if, both Lionel and Sunset/3rd Rail are OK with it. 

If you start a new ERR forum would you take all the ERR posts in the TMCC Forum and put them in the new one? If you don't you'll have ERR posts in 2 forums.

I have to say it would only help sell more ERR boards.

I was told that the new ERR boards will have 200 speed steps. Is that true?

All the full-sized ERR TMCC boards have always had 100 speed steps.  This includes the Cruise Commander, AC Commander, and the DC Commander.  The Cruise Commander Lite also has 100 speed steps.

I don't see any reason to add speed steps, you get great control with 100 steps.

Rich:

Thank you for considering adding an ERR Forum if Lionel and Scott agree.

My first reaction was to agree with GunrunnerJohn, but on second thought I agree with JohnAction as stated above. These products are a product of a common evolution and are significantly interrelated in application.  I reluctantly and respectfully disagree with GunrunnerJohn who knows a whole lot more about this than I do.

Hope the forum gets the ok from Lionel and 3rd Rail. I think there's a lot of things we could do with it. I know barely anything about ERR so would be nice to learn everything there is to know.

The OGR Forum has always been about educating us---GRJ's suggestion is right in line.

As said above....I will meet with the parties involved to see if they feel it would be of benefit to have a separate ERR thread.  As stated above, their are two sides to this story and some things to consider.  Both Scott and Lionel at this point are early on in how this will work out so I will report back after meeting with them.

As I promised above...I am updating you all as to the question of a separate ERR category.  Based on a discussion between OGR and the parties involved, it was requested that we do not have a separate ERR category.  It was expressed that since ERR product is closely associated with TMCC due to the nature of the use of the product,  ERR discussion/questions should take place on the Lionel/TMCC category.  In order to facilitate that end, I offered to include/add ERR in the title of that category.  Thanks for your interest everyone!!
