Has anyone installed a cruise control board (TAS drop-on EOB or ERR cruise commander) in this small engine? If so, how difficult was it. Thanks

If your engine is already TMCC then EOB is very simple to install.

Ernie,

Do you know if any EOB boards have been installed in the K-Line B6 w/TMCC? The reason for the initial post/question was I have received emails from two different installers saying they "think" this engine is too small to add an aftermarket cruise control. If the EOB board will work, I'll send it off to one of them (or TAS).

If the loco already has TMCC then it should already have a motor driver board. Both the EOB Drop-In and Cruise Commander M upgrades use boards that are physically the same as the motor driver board.

Here is an old post that shows pictures of a motor driver board and the Cruise M replacement.

CapPilot,

We've installed many EOB boards in the engine. The drop in EOB is the same footprint
as the existing motor driver board which would be replaced.
