[quote user="funny"] <p>Hi, west nile,</p><p>I'm brandnew at the forum and I'm writing from Germany, so my recommendation may base on other circumstances than large US-trains require. But as I understand american model railroads I assume you operate long and heavy trains. In this case a rechargebable battery powered locomotive equipment is disadvantage compared to rail powered systems. Locomotives loaded with long trains may not remain long on their battery power. On the contrary I would recommend a DCC system with an appropriate booster, for example 10 or 20 Amps. Operating such a system requires clean wheel sets and also clean rail heads but will bring you satisfying play sessions. </p><p>By the way: The best option for outside rails are stainless steel ones. Even nickel-silver rails will work much better than brass ones. </p><p><span class="smiley">[#welcome]</span></p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Ok, did we not have this discussion before? Shame. Rene is Funny from Germany????</p><p>Toad</p>
