And I know they're only design pics, but that looks much like a current train motor. I wonder if the (...) (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains)

You could theoretically stick an ordinary battery box in the train, power a sensor/controller unit from the battery, then that feeds power into the top of a standard motor. If the receiver is separate (...) (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains)

Therefore it makes sense to include the battery box whilst you're re-designing the baseplate. My guess is that's what (...) (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Of course, what would be a real gift to the train-heads (if it's not too late Jake?) would be to make the IR baseplate modular - make the middle bit solid with technic holes at each end, then have two identical plug-on baseplate ends to make (...)

It relies on endless juice from the controller. I think if they just use the (...) (19 years ago, 24-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
