Hello everyone.

I have been out of the train loop for about a year now and starting to get back into the swing of things. I'd like to upgrade a couple of RMT Beeps, a Lionel Docksider, one of the new K-Line boxcabs (based on the old red Lionel boxcab), and an older MTH diesel (not PS1 or 2) to TMCC. Are there still products available to do this?

I know that something happened to TAS and another company joined up with Lionel, but I don't know much else than that. Any help you folks could lend is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

These 2 companies sell DYI kits. I believe Weaver was going to do installs.

Is there room in a Lionel Docksider to fit an ERR board?
Has anyone done this?

Thanks in advance.

Digital Dynamics is still around and Weaver will indeed install some of the products that TAS used to sell direct to do-it-yourself-er’s. Electric Railroad Co. (ERR), now part of Lionel, appears to be the only source still actively developing new products. For small projects like RMT Beep’s, ERR just came out with their Mini Commander 2.

Thanks everyone, ERR seems to be the ticket. The Mini Commander 2 should do the trick for the BEEPs, may also work for the Docksider. I'll contact them Thursday and will have to post my progress.

If anyone else has anything else to add, I'm open to any and all advice/suggestions.

Own a docksider? Check out what space you have. ERR lists dimensions on the website. Maybe make the dimensions out of a 3D box of paper or cardboard to see if it fits.

I bet the MC2 and SC will fit just fine in my RY 44T. Just need to find time to do the work.

DaveJfrO,

I don't have a docksider yet. Thank you for the suggestion on the 3D box.
