(...) I did this exact thing quite a while ago. I have some pics the motor at (URL) ran this on the PNLTC's worlds longest Track record Breaking layout. I used a Mindstorms Remote to control it. The pics show it in red but I converted it to yellow. (...) (23 years ago, 16-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) A battery box might be a bit too much weight, but you're more than welcome to try. The train does not have to use magnetic coupling (actually the Green Machine has a ball and socket connection, and one of my newer trains doesn't have a true (...) (23 years ago, 16-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Use a battery box to light the lights. This has the advantage of adding some weight too, which could be useful. So the unit has to be seperable at some point? Or does it have to use a magnetic coupling? Or does it just need to be some number (...) (23 years ago, 16-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

Well if you build your train right you can get away with "just gunning it". If it's too light then you do get a lot of wheel spin, of course too heavy and you slow the train down. And yes there is a width limit, I failed to mention that in my (...) (23 years ago, 16-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

Thanks to everyone for the ideas. I'm still not sure how I will do the ends with the correct window details. As I mentioned before, a set of gray 2x3 windows would do the trick. But I don't have a slew of Metroliners. So I might settle on stickers (...) (23 years ago, 16-May-01, to lugnet.trains)
