[quote user="piercedan1"]The orange (Basic TE) is still made, in fact Aristo uses this in some of their starter sets. I have one and I use a Dell computer 20 volt 2.5 amp power pack to operate it.  Note that 2.5 amps is the spec for the Basic TE max output.  PWC only. Good feature of this unit is it is a small receiver, and over the years they have shipped with several diffferent frequencies. There is a sticker on the unit that reads 045 on mine.  This means the frequency is 27.045 mhz. [/quote]   For reliable Radio Control operation, the Basic Orange TE is fantastic!  One of Aristo/Crest's best buys!  You can take the receiver and with a little time and a fuse, convert it to battery power and put it in a trailing car to power the trains.  Or, you can of course use the standard track power way. I have always been fond of the Train Engineer.  I bought my first in 1994.  The only thing that I don't really care for is built-in momentum (without the option of adjustment) and I am of the school that knobs are more funner to use than buttons for throttle.
