TMCC conversion of my American Models DC HR Pacific. I was really pleased with the smooth operation of the engine with TMCC. It is a real sweatheart to operate, and has lots of room for installation. This would be a great first TMCC installation for a beginner. The only thing tedious about this installation is the chuff trigger, and with a little guidance that is not difficult.

The two pictures above illustrate the simplicity of the DC wiring in the AM Pacific

I did a temporary installation to see how the DC commander performed with the Pacific. I debated about installing the Cruise Commander, but elected to save the Cruise unit for my other American Models Northern.

Testing of the temporary installation is shown below: Youtube Video of testing

After completing the tests the final installation was completed and is shown in the pictures below:

As  you can see there is a lot of room in the Pacific tender.

 

The chuff trigger detail will be shown in the images below as soon as I get the pictures taken.
