QUOTE: Originally posted by Notch 8 If you ran energized overhead catenary on an outside layout (another idea stolen from G scale) you could get all the benifits of battery powered trains as mentioned above, given of course the rails were not corroded enough as to prevent a proper ground. Stainless steel track and frequent use would prevent this problem. Of course you would be limited to electric traction only, but to have nothing but GG1's, E33's, and "jets" on a layout isn't the worst idea...
