Has anybody converted this trolley to either DCS or TMCC and retain it's unencumbered original interior and trolley bell sound? I would like mine to have command contol and be able to move slowly than it currently does in it's original conventional mode.
Also, has anyone added a trolley driver and passengers?

Is this streetcar so unpopular that there are no responses to my thread? I'm guessing either very few folks on this forum have it, or those who do are pleased running it conventionally and and also having it's detailed interior go without passengers and a trolley driver? Or is the zinc pest/rot problem some have attributed to this streetcar so widespread that most of these trolleys are no longer serviceable or can be run?
I’ve seen the G scale and it is essentially the same thing shrunk down. The O Gauge model has the same interior, there for if you make it TMCC or DCS you have very little room to do so or you have to take the interior out and put up silhouettes.
Kenn: Agree with Tim, above. I have two of the cars (Chicago and Cleveland) and like them both, but I actually don't run them because of the lack of CC. I wish that someone would develop a small unit that could fit inside but not screw up the details that are in there. Some years ago, the old Train America co installed TMCC into a K-Line Plymouth diesel for me, and that, of course was pretty tiny. But it would probably have to be smaller than that not to ruin the interior details, effect. Don't know who does stuff like that, anymore.

I run my Brooklyn car conventionally and have not contemplated installing motorman/passengers. I like the car just as it is. There is a small amount of rough surface at the bottom of one truck but has not increased in size or impaired operation.

Have you looked at the mini commander from Electric Railroad?
