I must be missing something here in your question. I use battery power exclusively, solely because I don't have to worry about cleaning track, ever. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I would like to do track power, but ideally, I should have one battery powered unit to clean the track after periods of in action. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Since your looking for economy...Look for an old battery opt Big Hauler (make sure its in good shape and has the RC controller intact) and a Aristo track cleaning car. A few loops around the track before each session should be good enough. Anything else in the bottom feeder catagory... Echo, Scientific, New Blight, barely have enough ability to pull themselves along. The older Big Hauler with the one car consist should be enough to keep the power flowing. <br /> <br />Kinda too bad, I just saw one of these last weekend at the GATS, still in its styrofoam with its original R/C controller . Didnt think to get it cause its too big for my layout. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thanks Vic, <br /> <br />Being that I would rather buy from friends...Does anyone have an older Big Hauler of the type Vic mentioned.? Or know where I can get one in good condition. If so, contact me and I will buy it from you for a reasonable price! <br /> <br />Thanks <br />Capt Carrales
