2) how do I go about upgrading to TMCC ?

Why does it have the run/program switch and an RS/SS switch?

 

You'll need the R2LC-C08 board to enable the TMCC capability, it replaces the reverse board in the right hand socket.  The RUN/PGM switch is the reverse lockout for conventional operation, when you upgrade it, it'll be indeed the RUN/PGM switch.  The RS/SS switch won't do anything right now as you have a Signal Sounds board.  If you replace that board with the RailSounds board and add the generic RailSounds Power Supply, you'll have full sounds.  Then the RS/SS switch will switch the sounds on/off, the horn and bell are always enabled.

Yes, and you'll have to hook up that antenna wire to the antenna it apparently broke off from.

Thanks for all this information! So I need to purchase a R2LC-C08 board and a Railsounds board and power supply. Ok next foolish question... where do I buy these at and are there some instructions with the upgrade?

And yes wjen scouring around the inside roof of the unit I did spy a metal strip with a burn mark which I now am assuming (ok I saw you roll your eyes!) is where the antenna wire was tacked on to with a cold solder joint.

I put all back together and with the switches in the position you suggested and TMCC off the engines ran so smooth it was incredible. I am not used to the new equipment. This huge puppy can really creep along smooth as silk. Of course that was on 4 feet of track which the diesel took up half.

Thanks in Advance
