I will tell you all this if you wish to become a distributor for ERR it isn't hard ( I was for a while ) all you need to do is get a retail licenses for your area even if it's for a flea market spot. the mark up isn't that much thou you get 30% discount your shipping is $10 not $5 your minimum purchase is $200 retail so when you get done there isn't a lot of room for profit. great product but this is why most won't really mark it down any just to give you some info so your $190 purchase cost your seller $133 + $10 = $143 leaves him $47 for profit to pay his bills out of including advertising and all I'm not complaining just showing why there isn't much of sales on the items or mark down from what ERR sells it for. And to me what it sells for is a good price.

If you are 100% happy with how your trains run now, especially at slow speeds (they will run smoothly as slow as you want them to, don't slow down in corners, etc.) then you don't need cruise. If your trains speed up and slow down as they go around the loop (and you don't like seeing that) or if you wish you could run trains slower but they seem to stall when you try to do so, then you could use cruise.
I had a small loop of track on a board that fit under a twin bed, and had 4 power drops around the O36 oval and then one on the end of each spur, and I wish I had cruise in the locomotives I ran it on when I had that layout, now that I have locomotives with cruise. So IMHO, even on a small flat layout, you want cruise.
