Does anyone know if any train manufacturers sell/plan to sell, train locos, with battery power and RC built-in? Seems like a natural for a company like Aristo/Crest.I'd love to be able to buy an Aristo steam loco/RC package, (like the RTF Electric Airplane packages that include the plane / batteries / speed controller and 4ch RC transmetter/ and onboard receiver) Charge/ the batteries, drop the loco on the track, push the button on the RC, and watch with glee as the train slowly pulls away.  ;-)    (electrical continuity issues a fading memory/nightmare) What do you say Aristo?   ...next Christmas   track, train, battery, receiver, transmitter, all in one box!  (I don't need the track but, it would still make a great kit)  ...and when the batteries are starting to fade, the train pulls onto a "charging" siding for "re-fueling", (just like my iRobot plugs itself back into it's charging station when it's done cleaning the floor), ... and like a prototypical train would, when it needed fuel.  A good idea?       ..or am I completely nuts?   ;-)    Cheers,   Todd K. Cape Cod - Cranberry Cove Railroad  (aka "4 Seas RR")
