So, John in other words
1 - leave the existing Lionel boards in place.
2 - connect the 3 position wire into ERR board, that draws information from the cereal port,
3 - then take the 4 position pin plug and plug it into the J2 (command board)
4- then plug in the 2 position wire onto ERR Board
5 - then take the multi -position plug (purple and black wire) and plug that onto ERR Board.
Is that what you suggest? If so would I need to connect the chuff to ERR Board or will the Lionel existing still work.
Also, I would replace the speaker.
