Does anyone know if there is a smoke unit available that will work with the ERR Cruise Commander board?  I have TAS smoke units for my converted AC motored engines and they don't work with Cruise Cmdr boards.  I'm assuming that the cruise boards put out a signal for the smoke in DC.  I don't have any  DC version of the TAS smoke units.

Most any Lionel or MTH smoke unit should work with the ERR board.  I've put it in MTH and Lionel steamers and it's worked for all of them.  I've never converted an MTH PS-2 loco, but a number of the PS-1 and Lionel locos.

 

A simple addition of a small relay will allow you to use the TAS board, the relay is driven by the R2LC and the smoke unit is powered from track voltage.
