Using the Electric RailRoad's Cruise Commander and Sound Commander in the latest AF/Lionel Baldwin makes this loco a much better performer especially in Yard service. |
| The Cruise Commander's heatsink is modified. It is trimmed down and drilled to mount to the triacs 180 degrees from the original orientation to save space. |  |
 |
A spacer is made to mount the heatsink to the chassis using the original Baldwin chassis mounting holes |
| The sound board is mounted with double sided foam tape to a custom bracket. |  |
 |
The Sound Board bracket is mounted using the lock
out switch as the fastener. The Reverse unit Lockout switch become the
TMCC program/run switch.
A notch cut was in the heatsink for access to the Cruise Commander's terminals |
| The Speaker is mounted in the front of the body at
an angle to create a natural baffle.
The LED lights use a dip header as a connector that mates to a mini Molex connector pigtailed to the Cruise Commander's terminals.. |

 |
Golden/White LEDs are substituted for the headlights and are constant brilliance. |
| While not a "scale model" is a nice looking unit that will serve nicely in the yards shuffling cars and with cruise it really has excellent slow speed performance. |  |
