So what do you have here? A couple pullmoore motors hooked to a cruise commander? With a railsounds board?
Well, it's not a Cruise Commander, it must be the AC Commander. The Cruise Commander is only for DC can motors.
Your right John, thought maybe Bill had a trick up his sleeve! I missed the missing 3-wire terminal. I installed a cruise commander on a GP-38 a while back and plan on doing it again to a couple others I have.

Well, that would be a very neat trick!
Jon Z. from Lionel did some experimenting with AC motor cruise control, but due to the characteristics of the motors he decided that it wasn't worth pursuing. I've installed a couple of AC Commanders, but I greatly prefer converting them to DC motors and installing the Cruise Commander if I can.
Is it hard to convert to DC Can motors?
There's a guy, Frank Timko that does DC motor conversions, many are very reasonable.
