Control 2-Rail DC train with TMCC Cab-1 via 1994 PowerMaster

The easiest way would be to add an electronic E unit such as a DALLEE to the loco they wire directly to DC motors.  Otherwise you would have to run the pulsed AC from the PM1 through a bridge rectifier and reverse the loco with a DPDT switch. Which kinda defeats the whole point of the PM1 and Cab1.   J

Ok, since I am a little confused as to what the OP wants, I will propose two ways to solve this problem.

First, the conventional way. Try the Lionel AC to DC converter box designed for G scale.

Next, the command way. Tmcc CAN run on DC (aka fullwave rectified AC) as seen in this Lionel G scale diesel manual, page 8.

Let us know what route you want to go.

Thank you, I will look for that little ac to dc converter box if I can find it for about $15 or less. All I need, just a simple power converter. I don't really need direction control from the remote, so the switch is fine. I just wanted to have a way to run the train, in the forward direction, speed up or slow down anywhere in the house with the same remote I run my O gauge AC stuff on - just flip back and forth easily, and it gives keeping my old PowerMaster merit, because it isn't worth a **** otherwise.
