Hi, So what is the cost for converting a PS3 engine to tmcc? Are you able to run the smoke unit and lights as when it's DCs?

It makes almost no sense to convert an MTH engine in my opinion.

I was quoted the following in 2020 for TMCC conversion:

ERR Cruise Commander Kit $130, ERR Diesel Sound Kit $95, Labor $150. Total $375. Of course, add on two-way shipping and you're easily at $450 per engine.

It gets worse. The ERR kits have gone up since I was quoted that price. They are now $150 and $125 respectively. So unless you can do the work yourself, you're looking at closer to $500 per locomotive (after shipping, $425 or so if local).
