(...) To do this, I think you will need to run a 'dummy' PF Battery Box. I had this problem awhile back when I wanted to power my PF IR switch points using a 9V Train Controller. I had to the the 9V lead to the Battery Box and turn the battery box (...) (15 years ago, 12-Jun-09, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Kevin: Stop by the ToT-LUG layout when you are at Brickworld. I've got a bunch of SNOT examples I can show you and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have. I agree with the comment that SNOT has become 'the IN thing', but it does have (...) (15 years ago, 12-Jun-09, to lugnet.events.brickworld)

(...) Another thing to try: Use the 9V motor to power the IR receiver, and run the PF motor from that. This would require the 9V motor to be disconnected (just use the pick-up), and you'd need to run the train controller at full speed, and make sure (...) (15 years ago, 12-Jun-09, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I just tried this out on my basement layout. The short answer is no. The 8866 motor has a 9v-style connector on it, so the first thing I tried was connecting a 9v motor to the new motor with a 9v cable. No luck. Next, I tried connecting the 9v (...) (15 years ago, 12-Jun-09, to lugnet.trains)
