I have done several ERR upgrades on Williams engines and it is a very easy upgrade and works great. Boxcar Bill has the best price and service going.

Thanks

The last time I purchase an ERR upgrade I decided to try Boxcar Bill.  http://www.mttponline.com/#!videos 

He not only sells the ERR products but will install them for you.   I have installed several ERR upgrades and they were not that hard especially when I started to use miniature wire clips as seen below in this Williams BL2.

Regardless of the value and condition of the item, it's rather easy to do and completely reversible if desired.  Check out The Electric RR Company.

I have a customer interested in converting a conventional Lionel #6-18501 Western Maryland NW-2 Switcher to TMCC, Legacy, PS2 etc.  Based on the value and condition of the item I was not a fan of this type of conversion if it can be done.  Does anyone know of a source for these conversions, other than the obvious manufacture's?  Many thanks.
