actually, if you ask Dan Parker, I have a -much- better way of doing this. I
have a RC 4.5V loco. The only bad thing is that it takes 10 batteries (N
cells) to power it.
It takes the full loco, and a 10 long car to hold the RC gear and the
batteries. But, it is great for large layouts that you cannot get to the
middle of easily, and for switching (shunting). No Mechanical changes to the
lego are really required, except you must have a 4.5V plug for your output.

| First, I must say that I probably will not set up my 4.5V trains for RC control, but it would be cool to see what you have done. Do you have pictures or more details? Thanks, Chris (...) (25 years ago, 27-May-99, to lugnet.trains)
