im new to large scale and as of yet dont even have a large scale train. BUT there will be one someday even if its a little mack. i like the macks and all of the large scale engines. <br />and really entry level locos are not much more than a good quality small scale. sp a garden RR will be just what i need with my diminshed sight <br /> <br />if anything confuses my semi blind behind its obtaining reliable power. im thinking i can understand batteries (i do own a cordless drill) and think i understand battery training and care. <br /> <br />those must be some serious batteries that run the Curmudgeon RR for that long on that kind of grade. very very impressive to me.. are they the nickle metal hydride type or gel cells? <br /> <br />how do the costs break down between the 2 power options? and does aluminum really not conduct well enough to be used with track power on say 200' of track? <br /> <br /> <br />much thanks for allowing all my questions. John
