<P mce_keep="true">I think your question was more of who makes battery locos, rather than how do you convert. Unfortunately, we're being outdone by the Brits in this category as far as small locos go.</P> <P mce_keep="true"><A href="http://www.roundhouse-eng.com/">http://www.roundhouse-eng.com/</A></P> <P mce_keep="true"><A href="http://www.ip-engineering.co.uk/acatalog/loco_kits.html">http://www.ip-engineering.co.uk/acatalog/loco_kits.html</A></P> <P mce_keep="true">I purchased an IP railbus in January and am still assembling it. I'm also still assembling my Roundhouse Lady Anne, but live steam is another story altogether. </P> <P mce_keep="true">An alternative to this is a ramped-up RC sized fuel cell. </P> <P mce_keep="true"><A href="http://horizonfuelcell.com/hobby_rc.htm">http://horizonfuelcell.com/hobby_rc.htm</A></P> <P mce_keep="true">Which looks interesting. I enquired with them about a year ago. They said their basic RC set up was $1,500. But in my world, that's another steamer.</P> <P mce_keep="true">Best of luck. </P> <P mce_keep="true">~S</P>
