Mike,
If it TMCC, they all came with Train America Studios (TAS) Engineer on Board (EOB) which is TMCC with a reader that counts black striped tape (like John's chuff generator) so it does have cruise control. The EOB also has an acceleration curve which is annoying (which is what John and I were talking about). The curve means that when you turn the remote speed to 30, the engine will slowly go up to that speed, speeding up the acceleration as it goes. That means you can't MU it to another engine unless you turn off the cruise control. It also has TAS Smoke Machine in it. I've opened mine and I know this to be true. If your engine has a 10 pin tether, it is the same.
As far as I know, Weaver only made one batch of this engine, all with the EOB board.
