[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by billJohnsonSr Ordered Loco and 9 cars. Thanks Tony for no solder pics. Picked up Aristo track, circle and 10 straight. I have a HO pack that I can use to get stated. Need to see if I can build the crate before I decide to go RC. Radioshack has rechargeable batteries and holdrers. Is that OK? Should I use there charger?[/quote] Bill, you don't need to build the box the way Tony did. Any old box will do. Styrene (the stuff Tony used; it's sold at hobby shops under the trade name Evergreen) is soft and can be cut with just an Xacto knife. Then you can use super glue to fasten it together (but be very careful - superglue can seal your eyes and fingers together etc.). You could even build the box out of popsicle sticks with their ends cut off (and for outdoor use just coat it with a weatherproof sealant inside and urethane or waterproof paint outside). You could also just buy a wooden or plastic box of roughly similar dimensions at a dime store, or thrift store, or Michael's craft shop, and use it as-is! The dimensions are not really critical so long as there's enough space inside for all the hardware. To paint plastic, use Krylon's line of plastic-compatible spray paints. F8 P.S. Your HO powerpack probably doesn't have enough power to run these big trains, unfortunately.
