   Yeah, I’d thought about that, but the bogies on N gauge locos and N gauge rolling stock are very different. They aren’t cosmetically interchangeable. Well, as far as I have been able to find so far, anyhow.

Rob,

Funny you should mention that. I was thinking along these lines. I’m useing one of the cheap RC micro cars to power a hand pump Velocipede. I’m retaining the reciever, and powering it off an internal battery. Or I could power off the track. Our train club is switching over to DCC, constant power. A couple of wisker pickups with a voltage regulator chip, and I could keep a charge on the internal rechargable battery.
