Cruise Control for older TMCC loco's

There is no cruise control available for Pull-Mor motors.  You'd need to replace that motor with a can motor in order to install a cruise control board.

I converted my Lionel 777 Commodore Vanderbilt and now it's one of my best runners.

The job took:

-a can motor from Frank Timko (Timko repair depot)

-a Cruise Commander from electric railroad

-a little time and patience

-fixing a binding side rod

I re-used the Railsounds 2 in the tender and added a magnet and reed switch to the tender wheels to get a pseudo two chuffs per revolution.

Add another magnet, and get 4 chuffs. BF

It looks as if I will have my work cut out for me. Life is never simple!

Thanks all for your help.

I'm no expert on this matter, however, the ERR website states the following:

  AC COMMANDER KIT
The AC Commander kit is for locomotives with AC Motors, also known as Pullmor Motors (motors with visible brushes).  This upgrade provides Command and Conventional Mode operation.  Additional outputs are supplied for front light, rear light, and electro-couplers.  Output multipurpose output for smoke, cab light, or strobe light, selected by "feature code" provided.

There is no cruise control with the AC Commander.  Read the description of the Cruise Commander and you'll see the difference.

Yes, the AC Commander gives you TMCC, but NOT cruise control.

Is cruise control interpreted as speed control in this context?

AFAIK, cruise control has always been interpreted as speed control when talking about model trains.
