S Gauge and TMCC

This is a page dedicated to the use of Lionel's Trainmaster Command Control
and it's development and promotion in S gauge AC locos.

News From Lionel:

The new TMCC Mikados are HERE!
They are absolutely gorgeous. Now we will see what other offerings may be in store?
A Mikado review

There may indeed be a future with TMCC and American Flyer!

Commentary:
TMCC has the definite advantage over DCC systems that TMCC can be mixed with Legacy equipment on the same layout. You can take a TMCC equipped engine and still run it on your buddy's conventional layout and it will run like a non-TMCC engine by automatically switching itself to run in the conventional mode.

Scope of these pages:
In the pages that follow you will find as much as I can find on the subject, some conversions that I have done, and links of interest. PLEASE feel free to send comments, questions, ideas and suggestions for other links that should be added here. Please contact me at carl@tuveson.com
