Sounds great everybody. I'm just worried I'll miss the new thread (a busy boy this winter), so Tony, please be sure to post a "redirect" message here so we all get the word. <br /> <br />Also, Tony, I measured and it looks like I overguestimated the amount of free space available under the chassis. But you'll see for yourself soon enough. <br /> <br />Finally, if the battery + R/C gear won't fit easily onboard, consider advising us on how to do it by running it with maybe half the ideal # of batteries (less power = less speed and/or shorter runs, but speed's not crucial for newbies' first battery train, especially if it's a switcher which SHOULD run slow per prototype)... I know in my case, at least, my Macks will never pull many cars, and they don't need to go deal with inclines. I really don't care if they're underpowered. <br /> <br />In fact, slow is good -- they offer a lovely contrast to faster trains around them....
