I just recently purchased the engine from eBay and I need to reset the TMCC Engine ID. Under the cab there are 3 switches (Smoke On-Off, Cruise On-Off, Reverse On-Off) and there is a switch in the tender under a hatch that I am thinking might be a switch for bell and whistle only or railsounds but I am not sure. The manual that K-Line supply does not document any of the switches on the engine. I am hoping that someone might remember which switch is the run/program on the K-Line Berkshire from 2003.

Thanks for the information, Richard.  I might look to added TMCC and railsounds in the future because the whistle and bell are just ok. I think the switch in the tender is a cut-off to the speaker and there is no volume knob under the tender to turn down the volume which is very loud.  I did purchase the engine because I loved how it looks.

For the record, K-line was not 100% consistent about using the CC at the end of a product number to identify a product with TMCC.  I gave that advice to someone else because I also believed that only CC engines had TMCC, and I was proven wrong.  Turns out, some engines made with TMCC did NOT receive the CC designation.  Best way to tell for sure is to give us a look and inside of tender and inside of engine.

Yes, this engine has a cruise switch. The soundboard installed from K-Line is very basic, the bell and whistle are loud, very generic, and I do not see a way to adjust the volume. I believe Royztrains is now selling the ERR line. I did not open the steam engine yet to see what K-Line has installed in there.

JYU870.........FYI I looked around on Lionel's parts site and this 5.0 Berk sound card is available for $55.00. I put one in my cart and then deleted it so it appears to be available.

Perhaps one the the members that does TMCC work could put together a TMCC modular system for this sound board.
