 I have the kit but, its not for sale. I know the  kits are not available anymore. All he needs to make the kit is the R2LC, Intructions and the box. If he wants to upgrade  an engine he don't need the box. Now if he wants sounds we can upgrade that also, even if those kit are not available anymore. Lionel offered three upgrade kits. One kit For Command, One kit for sound "Diesel" and One for "steam".

Bill,
I understand that, however this 'kit' is no longer available. Check the shipping schedule. The R2LC may be obtained from any service station. The instructions may or may not be relevant to you loco.

Go to Lionels web and check out the manual. The upgrade kit is for upgradable conventional engines. They have Electronic E-Units that are replaced with a radio board. When the R2LC is installed, then it will be command equip. The only thing in the kit is the R2LC and instructions.

BoxcarBill - the problem is the item he is looking for is not available from any retailer and is not in the shipping schedule. Also, if the engine is Command Upgradable it should already be equiped with the R2LC board.

Here is the manual. http://www.lionel.com/media/servicedocuments/72-2960-250.pdf . You will need a radio board. 691-R2LC-C08. Thats all there is to it.

Could not be found. Most likely it is a discontinued (or never produced) item.
