R/C Bachmann 4-6-0
Posted by Winna Pic & Yucca River R.R. on Saturday, November 26, 2011 11:30 AM

OK so we've had our bachmann for 4 years (our first engine; very happy with it, maintenance free) and we tried running track power but we also have brass track which tarnishes very fast. To sum it up we can't run trains. This winter I decided  that I have the money to do it. I need a few questions answered first. I bought radio control for my accucraft ruby and I figured it would work perfectly for the 4-6-0 (not the servo part). Would this work? Also offered on that website (Electronic Model Systems) is another package deal with a transmitter and TWO receivers. Does that mean I can run two engines off the same transmitter? Now for the battery situation; I looked on Batteries of America under the R/C section and I saw on a mylargescale.com thread that someone used two 7.2 volt batteries and found these on the website. Please tell me if this setup will work and all the rest of the junk I need to shove into that engine. Thanks-
