battery conversion
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, August 19, 2007 2:29 PM
Hi: I am new to the forum and live in the Atlanta area.  Does anyone know of someone in this area that can convert a Marklin 5707 engine (circa 1980's) to battery and sound?  This engine is DC and digital capable and does not have a tender. Thanks

If you want the best radio control system for model trains, then go to http://www.remotecontrolthrottles.com/  Tell Don Sweet that Joh Foley sent you.

The RCS system will allow you to run your loco and control your bell whisle and a third sound on the sound card. It also has directional headlights. The transmitter is the size of a pack of ciggretts and has a range of over 50 feet.
