In the "Construction" forum Marty brought up the idea that he uses and recommends battery powered locomotives. I am in a position that I am starting from scratch on my garden railway, so I want to make the right decisions now and not go back later and decide that I shoulda, woulda, coulda... It seems like battery power has advantages. (Tell me if I'm wrong in this.) No wire to the track. No expense of a power pack. Cleaning track is less important. Essentially, each locomotive has its own remote control. How do the locos run? Are they as controllable as a wired track? Do they have equal power as a wired system? How long do the battery packs last? I'd appreciate any feedback from those of you with experience with battery vs. wire.
