I have about 7 big PRR and Santa Fe 3rd Rail Steam. I have been looking on net how to install sound , cc, and smoke and how this can be done. I liked the one Santa Fe steam that I think Gunrunner John installed CC and steam. Any ideas advice appreciated. I want system to work.

Don’t any of these have Command Control now? 3rd Rail has been doing that since around 2000.

Check out ERR products. They can set you up with command and sound. John has his own line of products for generating chuff and smoke.
Check out Norm Charbonneau on YouTube. He has some great videos on 3rd rail steam. Probably not an exact how to but full of ideas and placement of components, antennas and stuff.

Can you be more specific as to exactly what you now have? I've upgraded many 3rd Rail steam models to full Command with fan driven smoke, both using TMCC and PS/2 and PS/3 upgrades.
These are older non CC engines. New rarely used. I have,PRR S1,S2,T1,Q2,N1,Santa Fe northern. I was thinking put command in them. Then think about traction tires if I actually need tires. Thanks for the responses.
Any other I formation you may need? Let me know.Bob
I do believe 3rd rail sells ERR systems for this purpose.
I sell all the ERR products as well as my Super-Chuffer II and the Chuff-Generator for steam TMCC upgrades.
Check out my youtube channel for 3rdrail upgrades with ERR and John's Super chuffer/chuff-generator upgrade products
I liked GunRunner John's sound from video I listened too. How can I contact you GunRunner John? Would like to get the S1 done first. Thanks. Bob.
