Picked up a used P&D F3 body kit that had a power unit in it and a board inside that has Lionel markings with a smoke unit.
Anyone know what the boards are? Just reverse unit and smoke unit or is it TMCC??
If TMCC where is the antenna? or how is it set up??
Box said dummy body kit only, There was no documentation on the power unit.
Tks for any suggestions;

Looks like a mother board with R2LC. If you remove the R2LC it should have a code on a sticker, "C08" as an example.
I am sure this gave directional lighting, smoke and coupler capability to the dummy. G
KJ; The antenna is the flat sheet metal plate with the one wire going to the white one or two pin connector near the two caps on the motherboard. It is mounted to the gray plastic "pole" on one end; the other end needs to be mounted to the frame with a screw from below (usually). Make sure the metal plate is not touching any other piece of metal.
The top plug-in board is likely an R2LC board (radio receiver).
Thanks so TMCC sounds good.
So is there an on line manual anywhere that would help me figure out how to set it up?
the parts are all just loosly sitting on the model base trucks not attached?
Got a good deal at a train meet on this.
Maybe someone on the Forum has a P&D manual for this kit KJ; obviously, make sure none of the boards are touching any metal before applying power to the unit. Some plastic stand-offs would be handy to mount the mother board. The smoke unit likely has some mounting posts on it somewhere.
I've never seen the kit so that's about all I can suggest.
