I am looking for a professional TMCC installer who can install TMCC and RS in a semiscale MTH F-3. If anyone know of such a person please give some recommendations. I realize I will have to put it in the mail but that is okay. I appreciate any help that anyone can give.

Get a hold of AlexM,GGG, MartyF or gunnrunner john on the forum here.
"Gunrunner John ", is the first TMCC guy that comes to mind. But, almost any of our advertisers via above banner adds have just such people on staff.
Just pick a dealer you trust and talk to them.
I haven't done more than a couple hundred, I don't know if I'm up to the task.
Thanks so much to all but John I don't know if you have enough experience for me. I was looking for someone that has done about 400 hundred(LOL).

That would have been Boxcar Bill, but sadly he died several years ago. You'll have to lower your expectations.
John's reputation is well deserved and I have had conversations with him about a DIY problem I had. Recently I contacted GGG for a repair of a K-Line and installation of ERR. It was a tight fit problem when I tried without success. GGG diagnosed the problem quickly, made the fix and the engine came back in perfect condition. The others mentioned also have well deserved reputations. We are lucky to have so many great techs available.
And here I've only done about a dozen

I understanding wanting a professional, but to be honest I my self have done about a dozen. What I'm getting at is, it isn't that hard of a task, you could do it yourself to be honest.
Ouch John, that really hurt my feeling. I've done hundreds of HO and N scale sound installs, o scale is like setting up a stereo in a gymnasium but ho and b are always a challenge

I agree that some installs might be rather straight forward and easy. As an example, I installed reed switches and magnets on 3 of my steamers to get 4 chuffs. That was a can do project. On the otherhand, although I had excellent advice from the pros on the forum on another DIY, a short some where in my attempt to install ERR cooked some equipment. At that point, it was better for me to get it done by a professional.

You missed the smiley. BTW, what is b? That's a scale I haven't worked with yet.
B scale you know between A & C. Actually I meant N but my giant hands don't always get along with my little iPhone. I got the smiley, my feeling doesn't really hurt, I leave it at home
b is actually between v and n...

I don't work on those, I can't even see the wires in those.
The reason I do O-gauge stuff is it's big enough to work on.
