Nicon, Yes it is true. There are pros and cons to battery power as well as track power. If you do a search in this forum, you will find many threads where people debate the merits of battery vs track power. Your choice will depend on where your preferences lie. There are a number of choices for brands of RC. Each brand has it strong and weak points. Again, review the literature and pick your system. For batteries, you will find people running everything from Pb (Sealed Lead) to NiMh to LiPo. For G gage trains, we have a lot more space to work with that you had in the RC cars & trucks plus we can carry a lot more weight. Batteries can be hosted in the loco or in a trailing car. To give you an idea of what people do, I use the Locolinc RC system with the Phoenix 2K2 sound system and I have batteries in loco's or trailing car depending on how I have individual trains set up. My battery packs range from 18V (3x6v) of Pb to 16.8V of NiMh plus some other odd combos sized for specific loco's. If you put batteries in the loco's, you will be driven toward NiMh or LiPo due to space limits. However, boxcars have a lot of space and you can use larger Pb batteries...plus they are a lot cheaper. I am sure you will get mor comments. Paul D
