Basic Train Engineer from Aristo-craft
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, March 7, 2005 12:41 PM
Does anyone have experience with the Basic Train Engineer from Aristo-craft? Can it be used with a battery power supply? Can the receivers be purchase individually from the controller? I’ve seen the cost online for just under $60, and all I need is a simple speed control for one Loco at a time.

I haven't done it personally, but I believe that using a basic TE receiver as an on-board receiver is done quite frequently. You probably want to take your inquiry to the general forum site at Aristocraft

I got a BTE but I'm using track power, if your going to use it with an on-board battery, try Bills suggestion.
