Presumably the AC Commander would be fine for ACG open frame amperage as ERR products are designed for O gauge. I don't know of anyone who has done it as most folks seem to convert theirs to DC can motors and then install the Mini Commander 2 or Cruise Lite.
Chuck, when I first found TMCC I did use the AC Commander board, these are quite large boards, but I did installations in a couple of twin motored PAs and also in a 336 Northern and in a 343 0-8-0 switcher. All of these had sound boards installed also. At the time I found it a way to get my feet wet in TMCC. I still run the Rocket and now a Thomas which is a converted CJ with the AC commander. The main drawback with the open frame motors is the high amperage that these motors draw.
The can motored engines draw fractional amps where the twin open frames will draw3.0 + amps
Chuck, I would love to see a photo of one of your AM locos, Shell off, with the Cruise Lite installed, maybe the Trainmaster?
