Hi gilbert, as I mentioned to Matthew the Aristo Craft BASIC TRAIN Engineer is all that you guys need. This walkaround throttle also used for G and N scale. In HO and N the received does not go into the engine but is seperate unit. All you do is hook up receiving unit to your track and power it with your old power pack. In other words it sits between the track and your old power pack. You transmit with an hand-held transmitter (like your tv remote) it is completely wireless so there is no tripping over wire from transmitter and receiver. No modification necessary to engines. It transmit a @27mghz multidrectional FM signal with pulse code modification that eleiminates any outside signal interference. Like I said it operates off of your normal power pack just connect the receiver unit into existing wiring between the track layout and your power supply. The train engineer gives you wireless control of your train within a 100 foot circle of the receiver unit and maintains all the functions of your power pack while enhancing performance. I have both the BASIC TRAIN ENGINEER and the more powerful 300 foot cicle unit (which is not necessary for your application) and believe me its the greatest throttle available short of DCC. For one man basic home layout it will serve you well. check it out in walthers catalogue page 877 under power supplies or if you dont have a walthersw catalogue go WWW.Walthers.com believe it is now marketted under the CREST brand which is a subsidiary of Aristo Craft. Hope the above will help you solve you power problem Gilbert - let me know what you decide to do - keep on tracking Rudy Montreal Canada2
