TMCC
compatible
conversion.
The
0-8-0
shuffling
cars
in
the
yard
with
all
the
Bells
and
Whistles.
| The
Electric
RR's
Commander
boards
makes
TMCC
and
sound
conversion
easy
and
economical.
I
used
their
Beep
Commander
mother
driver
board
in
the
switcher
to
take
advantage
of
it's
100
speed
steps. |
 |
 |
The
boards
fit
with
no
modification
and
terminals
and
plug
in
connectors
make
wiring
easy.
This
loco
also
uses
the
Lionel
electrocoupler
conversions. |
| I
used
a
1.5"
speaker
held
in
place
with
double
sided
tape.
The
coal
bin
makes
an
excellent
baffle
for
the
speaker
and
the
sound
passes
through
around
the
gaps
between
the
frame
and
shell.
One
can
drill
additional
holes
in
the
tender
frame
floor
for
a
bit
more
sound.
I
used
a
grain
of
wheat
bulb
for
the
reverse
headlight. A Chuff Trigger switch is added to one of the tender trucks. |

| The
Sound
Commander
board's
sounds
are
quite
good
with
whistle,
bell,
steam
pumps,
blow
down,
coupler
clank
and
a
4
cadence
steam
chuff. The whistle and bell volume are controlled by Aux1+1 and 4. The chuff and background sounds are controlled with Aux1+3 and 6. Aux1+2 is air blowdown |
