Battery power + RC

Cacole:

I was poking around the Airwire website a few days ago. The weight of replies seem to favor RCS, so I think that's the way I'll go.

Thanks to each 'n every one who took time to offer his opinion.

Another system to check out by going to their web site and reading the documentation is the AirWire900 by CVP Products of Richardson, Texas.

I would strongly suggest staying away from Locolinc.

Very erratic operation between receivers.

Charges for repair of even brand new units.

Poor quality control. New units bad.

Engines stopping in mid run.

I agree re RCS. Good product, good range, good price, good back-up, very compact.

Les,

I went with the RCS remote control system http://www.rcs-rc.com That system had all the options I was looking for and a price I was willing to pay and most importantly it was in stock and available.

O Gurus:

Last January I posted about beginning a Garden RR. I'd intended to use track power because of the expense. Howsumever, I've begun to think. And something I've been thinking about is the running and burying of all that wire. I've decided that, for me, waiting another season to begin and buying a RC outfit is the best way for me to go. Which, if memory serves, several of you suggested at that time.

Therefore, I'd like to solicit opinions on what kind/brand of RC setup to buy. I'm used to working with circuit board electronics. For the RR, I can't envision ever running more than two trains simultaneously, and those would be short and slow. I'm uninterested in sound at this time. Perhaps later. The RR will be a pre-1900 mining and logging setup with one long continuous run and a number of spurs to industries.

I recognize that any/all replies will be subjective.

Thanks,

Les
