I made the same error that CACOLE did when I first read the literature on the train engineer. I thought you needed the track controller to use the system but that is not true. If you put a battery and a Train Engineer reciever in the engine and are very careful to electrically isolate the wheels from the motor you can run the train from your hand held transmitter over any track even if the track has current running in it. I use both the Train Engineer and LOCO Link control systems. I like both of them. The Train Engineer is a little easier to install in a NEW Aristocraft train. the new trains are setup so that all you have to do is plug in the reciever and through a switch to battery control. I have installed the batteries in a trailing car (Coal car, Box car or flat car) This allow me to switch in a new battery out in the yard when the power fails 100 feet away from the charger.
