@Ted S posted:You have two options that I KNOW will work:
(1) Install the ERR AC Commander and run it with a Legacy CAB-2
(2) Send the loco to Frank Timko. He can install one, or perhaps even two DC "can" motors in it. Then you can add PS2 / PS3 or whatever command system you like. That being said, unless it's sentimental you'll save money by just buying a late-model EP-5 with can motor(s) as original equipment.
(3) This MIGHT work... it's possible with diodes, rectifiers, etc., to make the original "Pullmor" universal motor run on DC. Depending on how much current it draws, operating voltage range, etc., you MIGHT be able to get it to work with BlueRail, etc. It's theoretically possible but I've never seen or heard of anyone taking this route, so I suggest that you stick with options #1 or #2.
Well I can run TMCC/Legacy engines on the MTH DCS app - could I put TMCC/Legacy in the engine? or perhaps Legacy that I could run via Bluetooth/Lionchief on my iPhone?
I spent like $60 on this engine that's in nearly perfect condition so I'm not toooo concerned about how expensive the conversion would be.
