Yep, if you want details. Supply us with a little more information. What’s the engine, you want tmcc, or DCS?
Alco RS-11... RSD-12 ..Weaver TMCC
It's has TMCC.....just wondering what my choices are for a cruise control and smoke unti ..that will work with the cab 1 remote. Thanks
The options will depend on what is in there now. If it has Lionel modular boards then you can do it with just a ERR Cruise M. If it has a TAS SAW board then you will have to replace the Railsounds as well a using a more expensive Cruise Commander.

Does this help ?

Are you sure it runs with TMCC? A DCRU is a conventional reverse unit. DCDR is a non cruise TMCC motor driver.

Was running it around my Christmas tree,with the cab 1 remote. Crew talk...squealing brakes...electro couplers..etc
Someone has upgraded it. You will have to open it up to see what is inside.
Pete
Ok thanks.
It may have upgraded by Weaver. Their tech Gary, did TMCC upgrades as well as repairs.
Pete
So any chance for a cruise control ? Thanks
You can add cruise to any engine with a DC motor which I am sure this has. No one will know what is required until its determined what you have to start with.

Ok...will have to lift the hood and see what I got.
Adding smoke is likely to be a challenge, those don't have a ton of room, and the TMCC electronics and sound likely use most of it.
