I am not sure what the ERR MC does. However lets say one has a non powered Atlas Providence & Worcester Dash-8 with a Mini Commander - What would it control? Lights? Coupler? And would you try to find out by using the TMCC Cab1 and pressing Aux 1,1?
I have two of these Dash 8's, identical road numbers but one purchased second hand has the MC. Fair warning, I'm taking my trains out after a prolonged storage. The questions are piling up fast.
Thanks gents.

There are a number of MC versions. For a dummy unit, they make the MC-EX. Here's the description.
The Mini Commander EX has a full complement of outputs for supporting dummy engine applications. Outputs feature support for directional lighting, coil couplers, ditch lights, and a re-configurable output for strobe, smoke, or cab lighting. Additionally, serial signals are output for sound systems.
It will do everything you need in a dummy.
Here's the Mini Commander EX User's Manual, take a look.
Hi John.
Thanks for taking the time to help with your reply. I will look at the instructions and see what I can figure out. I am mostly a DCS guy, the TMCC Cab 1 functions are a little confusing as it relates to the interaction with the Mini Commander.
Once again, thanks John, I'll give a look and let you know how I make out.
All the best,
Paul
The MC-EX is fairly simple, it's addressed as an engine and provides most functions other than motor commands. It should do what you need.
