Your right, it's not necessarily a BUDD sound, but a Gas Loco Sound with single chime horn. I'll make a change to the description.

As for the Mini Commanders, I am only going off the labels on the sample boards I received. The mini commander I  need to be programmed for either ACC or HC configurations. But he hardware is the same.

Thanks Scott, glad to clear up the confusion over the BUDD sound board. 

As for the Mini Commander, the HC configurations have a larger triac in one channel than the ACC configuration, but AFAIK, the programming is the same.  The other Mini Commander, the Mini Commander II is a totally separate product that is for motorized units too small for any of the other TMCC motor driver products.

Gunrunnerjohn, The Mini II is a very versatile unit and not only is it used for small switchers but I also use them for American Model Diesels. With a little engineering they fit perfectly and most of the time there is also enough room to add sound. I hope Scott gets enough orders to bring this unit back.

With the mini II is it small enough to put into some of the smaller units, like a Lionel docksider or a K-Line plymouth switcher? I love those little guys and would love to be able to handle them in command mode when the time comes. I know it likely will be difficult (if I did it I likely would order the mini II and then have someone do it, not sure of how rusty my skills are).

It fits in a Plymouth. A friend did his and I plan to do mine.

Hi Folks,

We are setting up our warehouse now to assemble kits, and will notify those with reservations when we have received the first boards from the manufacturer. We are ordering for the future needs as well and test marketing to see if we can bring back Mini Commanders, Cruise Lite and Switch Commanders.

If we get sufficient orders we can bring these back. But if we get historically weak orders for these, then they will not be produced. So if you want to see them made, come and put in a reservation now.

We've also added the Railsounds set for Budd Cars and Turbine as these were being offered originally by ERR.

Thank you all for your support to get this off the ground, and happy railroading.

Since you've nearly doubled the price of the Switch Commanders (from $24.95 to $49.95), you've almost guaranteed to keep the orders for them historically weak.

Why such a huge increase in this item?

Scott, what about releasing the sound boards for the RDCs you made or are those some sort generic diesel board?
