Conerting Conventional to TMCC?

Hi GUYZ,

I am thinking of converting a SD 70 Lionel diesel to TMCC. It says that the engine is upgradeable. Can I just buy the ERR along with the sound package and put them in? Anything I should know and look out for. I have done the ERR upgrades in some of my TMCC engines and that is quite easy.

Thanks,

Laz on a upgradeable I’m not sure if there are plugs you can just plug into or what but I have done williams and it was real easy.

My NYC that had tmcc but just horn and bell I added train sounds to it and it was just unpluging one and pluging and mounting the other in. but as a whole there real easy so far and I’m not that electrical knowlegeble lol

Laz,

I have a Lionel Locomotive that indicated it was upgradable, too. I think it might be just a card swap, except for the sounds. Email ERR and they will always tell you what to buy.

Thanks GUYZ for the info I guess I’ll be calling http://www.mttponline.com/, and talking to WILL and see what he says.
