I have a PW Budd car I would like to convert to TMCC. I have read about how that can be done either by a service or as DIY. I have no expectations of this making it more or less valuable. It is a train I have had since it came out, so there is an attachment to my childhood. I read somewhere that Lionel is not going support these upgrades going forward. One question I have is whether it is a dead-end to make this conversion? If it is still practical to do, what product do you recommend? Others mentioned the ERR AC Commander. Is there anything else?

Thanks

Not a dead-end conversion at all. ERR components are now sold by (owned by?) 3rd Rail which breathed new life into aftermarket upgrades.

This can definitely be done, and it's not a dead-end. It can be pricey. I've chosen not to upgrade older, PW engines but decided to leave them as conventional. I have, however, had several modern conventional engines upgrades to TMCC using ERR components and they're great.
