I have a s gauge American Flyer set with a Reading Lines (cab #300 AC), 4-4-2 steam locomotive circa late 1940's - early 1950's.
Is there a company that makes a speed control board for American Flyer engines of that era and how complicated is installation?

If by speed control, you mean cruise control, ie, the ability to maintain a constant speed around curves and up/down grades, here's what you need:
-a can motor from Timko repair depot, or one of the other vendors that make can motor conversions for Flyer S gauge steam locos
-a cruise Commander from Electric Railroad Company
If by speed control you mean just being able to run the loco with TMCC, then all you need is
-an AC Commander from Electric Railroad.
Installation is fairly straightforward, but if this loco has a metal tender, you will have to figure out a suitable antenna. Carl Tuveson could answer your questions better than I.
