Reply to "Scale Trains and ESU"

I have an FA/FB set converted to TMCC/RS. The B unit is a dummy and holds the electronics, they have a wired tether. I have a PA/PA set with both units powered that was converted to TMCC/RS. Both units have the TMCC electronics, the lead unit also has Railsounds. There is no tether between the units. I run them as a Train with my Cab2. With TMCC, Trains can only be single digits so it limits how many Trains can be programmed.

I agree, they should sell B units and A units unpowered. If none of the Scale Trains engines have traction tires then, at least on my layout, it takes two powered units to haul an eight car passenger train or a 15 car freight. All of my AM engines that have scale wheels need to be double headed. It gets a lot more expensive to buy two of every engine.
