can tmcc control a mth proto sound 2.0 engine with digital sound system because i really want the rio grande heritage series package coming out in may

Reggie, in order to control a PS2 engine by TMCC, you must buy the Lionel TPC400. I have one, and use it to control my TMCC engines. I had a PS2 engine, but the board went bad, so I had a regular e-unit installed in it. Anyway, the TPC400 worked well for when I had the PS2 engine. It works well with conventional engines too.

No cannot in command mode. You would need a TPC400 and run it in conventional. My advice to you if you are commited to TMCC is to wait for Lionel’s version due out in the next year. It will have TMCC2 and all the goodies. I believe I read somewhere it is also $50 cheaper. If running TMCC is not a must or you’ll invest in DCS then I would think the MTH version would be fine.

Lionel Announces the First Officially Licensed Union Pacific Heritage Collection
10/31/2006


Coming in 2007, from Lionel, the Union Pacific Heritage Collection

Over the past two years, the Union Pacific has unveiled a series of locomotives that serve to honor and pay tribute to the people and railroads that have made them the leader they are today. Each locomotive features a unique paint scheme, incorporating elements of the six major railroads that have merged with the Union Pacific.







Coming in 2007 and 2008, in cooperation with the Union Pacific, Lionel Electric Trains will commemorate this important program by offering the Union Pacific Heritage Series Collection. This ground-breaking series will feature six SD70ACe diesel locomotives, each one painted in modern paint schemes representative of its famous fallen flag railroads:

now that the first name in electric trains is issuing the only officially licensed UP Heritage Series engines, it is going to be a task for yours truly not to pick up one of these and betray my post war loyalties:
