I have been tinkering with a remote control for an electric loco. I got a remote key-fob and receiver on ebay for about $15.  Its good for about 100 ft or so, more than enough for most garden layouts. The one I found has 4 pushbuttons that trigger 4 outputs on the receiver,. I was going to use those as inputs to either a Basic Stamp or a Picaxe (Picake is a knock-off of the stam, but they sell for $3-$10 instead of $40). I plan to let one button signal a speed increase, another a decrease and the third a panic stop. A momentum functions should be easy to program into the Stamp. There are now many sources for continous rotation servos, usually for robots. Thye come in several sizes and ought to make a nice power source for a small loco. This is one of those part-time projects fo rme- I tinker with it from time to time.
