I have this engine, the older version with TMCC and no speed control.
Is there a drop-in module available from ERR or other source that will allow me to add speed control to this engine without major surgery?

Call ERR to get the correct module for your particular locomotive. They have cruise commander kits which will give the locomotive 100 speed steps.
I agree with Sparky, and will also give some incredibly good slow start, making it look more prototypical............!

Is it can or pulmor powered?
It's a can...it's full scale...I'm not sure of the model number...but it has tmcc...before odyssey came out...so I don't know if it's modular and there is a drop-in board that ERR makes that will add speed control to it...like a Cruise M board...
That's what I'm hoping...thought one of you guys might know 
The product number is 6-28052. The Lionel product description can be found here: http://www.lionel.com/products...class-a-1218-6-28052
Watching this one to see what the correct board is; I own the same Class A and that whistle is the best thing to happen to steam. I will say one thing, you can fit a bus in the front of that boiler shell!
Cruise Commander M?
Good luck. Lionel is shutting down ERR, and I've been told that no more CC-M boards are available.

John what does the future hold for any older upgrades in your opinion given ERR is going the wayside? Is it just out with the old and in with the new ( meaning just legacy from here on out to get all the features ) or switching over to proto sound kits? Are there other options?
ERR is the only game in town for TMCC upgrades, so it's PS/3 or nothing from the view I currently have. I'm hoping sanity will return to Lionel management and they won't drop the ERR line totally, we'll see...
I have one and did the upgrade cruise commander m just swap out you control board and run one wire to your serial pin your good to go
