I have a Lionel conventional FT diesel with two can motors WITHOUT flywheels.
If I install an ERR Cruise Control board, will this loco have cruise control?

Yes.
As Danr sys - yes. Flywheels are nice but not necessary for model locomotives. Some complain about "sudden stops" with non-flywheel locos, but I have never really had this problem. The old Pullmors never had flywheels, either; they had different dynamics and no traction tires, I know, but still.
The tachometer-type speed control - like PS2 - usually uses a flywheel for the tach tape, etc. ERR does not.
Danr and D500, thank you very much for the information.
Just what I needed.
