OLD DAD: <br /> <br />The new loco mama bought me came with RC as part of the kit. I'm going to take advantage of the wintertime to also convert the Aster C&S to RC. I've obtained a couple of servos and reciever from the model airplane hobby and have started on doing the reversing lever first since it is the easiest. Only has to be moved to three possible positions, forward, neutral, reverse. Once I have this one done I'll do the steam valve since it's a full-open to full-closed situation with infinite possibilities in between for speed regulation. <br /> <br />BTW, I had a 7% grade included in one area of my Hawaiian layout and the Aster has no problem pulling a 5 car consist up this. The down slope was less severe so I didn't have a "run like heck" problem. With RC tho this will go easier since you can "pour the coals" to it going up, and back off going down. <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />LDH
