Minimally a battery powered system would have to pull a 6 wide

viable for a show. And that doesn't even address 8 wide (We have
run both on our layouts).

The topic of battery life and pulling power came up today -

Well, it surprises me... but then again, I've just heard folks debate it, not
actually test it or try it out. Thanks! I use 2500 mAh NiMH in my NXTs and RCXs,
and I've been happy with them, but an 8 hour run time pulling 20 cars is...
well, significantly more than my inital guess.

Dang, now I may need to get a Hobby train as well :-).
