I need information on what components I would have to purchase to upgrade a Lionel 18203 CP SD-40 from the 1990's. It has dual Pullmor motors.

The question is what component or components do I need to purchase to upgrade to TMCC with Cruise. I know Railsounds can be added later. It does appear the ERR AC Commander is needed but does this include cruise or is another component needed ?

I have tried contacting ERR in CA but they put me off to others. Their website is not clear at least to me.

Thanks for any help.

This is an older Weaver E8  with Timko can replacement motors.

Can you explain the logic of replacing the can motors on that one?  I've upgraded several Weaver and Williams with the older motors with no flywheels, they ran fine with the Cruise Commander.  It seems redundant to spend the money for the upgrade for that puny flywheel, it doubt it has much effect.

At the time EOB was the hot item from TAS.  Tough to do EOB without the flywheels and tach-strips.   ERR speed control more recent.
