It should since the CC will sense motor pulses from what I understand. I would call ElectricRR just to make sure.
Hi Mikey,
I'm quite sure you can install a ERR Cruise M, which is pretty much a drop in install, Take the old motor driver out and install the Cruise M. There might be one or two wire's to solder.

This is a TMCC engine. If it takes off on its own its usually a problem with the R2LC either not receiving a signal or some other fault. You need to address this problem before going to cruise. As Alex says this will accept a Cruise M but if the problem is with the R2LC the Cruise board will not fix this.

Pete,
You're 100 percent correct, I wasn't paying attention the the original issue lol i was just thinking
about installing the Cruise M. Mikey, Pete is right it can be the R2LC or an antenna issue.

Call Ken at Electric Railroad (Lionel), he will have all the answers for you. A great guy to work with.
