I posted on another topic about this. I would advise anyone running track power to convert at least one loco to battery power. They are great for cleaning track. I converted a small loco and use it to push around the track cleaner car before each operating session. There isn't any "chase the car, give it a push when it stops, chase the car again, give it a push". I'm getting too stove up to want to do that! I just run it around the track a few times to start, and then everything else runs spiffy. <br />I included a DPDT switch so I can run the loco either track power or battery power. Next thing will be a circuit to charge the battery from the track.
