TAS EOB TMCC Cruise Off/On

I'm pretty sure when you select the 32 or 128 speed step mode that implies you are turning cruise on.  If you select the cruise off mode, that disables the cruise.  Although the instructions don't state that, it appears that the cruise off selection drops to 32 speed steps with no cruise.

That makes sense.  The section in the manual about turning off cruise was for doing lash ups, which I read need 32 step mode.

So a follow up question is this:

Does ERR Cruise Commander run more stable cruise at slow speed than EOB?   I put Cruise Commander Ms in a K Line RS3 and Lionel Mikado Jr and they both creep along keeping a very stable speed.  The 0-8-0 w/ EOB doesn't compare.    

Personally, I was never enamored with the cruise performance of the EOB board, and I've only got one or two left in my fleet.  As for the Cruise Commander, here's the low speed performance I expect.

I have several EOB engines and a few ERR cruise engines.  If the tac tape on the flywheel is done correctly.  EOB is far better at slow speed crawls than ERR.  Don’t get me wrong ERR great but not as good say a MTH engine with DCS, or a Lionel Legacy engine, or EOB.  Problem with EOB is they are out of production, they are getting old and when they fail and all electronics will fail sooner or later and you will need to upgrade to ERR, Legacy, or DCS.

Gary, I'll match my previously posted engine against any EOB equipped engine for low speed performance.  I get plenty of engines with working EOB hardware that people want upgraded to ERR, but I've never gotten an ERR engine to upgrade to EOB.

That's the kind of slow speed crawl I'm looking for.  My two ERR equipped locos will do that.  My 0-8-0 EOB will do that on a straight but as soon as it enters a curve I need to increase throttle to keep it moving. So of course, it goes through the straight faster.

I'll upgrade to ERR eventually but first I need to sell off my large quantity of G scale to raise some funds. Might be sooner if I find I can reuse my RS 4 & power boards with the Cruise Commander.

Here it is entering an O72 curve from the straight track, smallest on the layout.  This is speed step one on the remote, slowest it'll go.
