Hi oldokie <br />I dont see any reason one of the comercial loco's cannot be rigged for battery operation. <br />if you are only using "V" skips for the minning branch then a small porter <br />0-4-0 or 0-6-0 or similar would do the trick with the batteries in a minning type rolling out house type caboose. <br />Iff using conventional cars I dont know what to sugest that would not cost an arm and a leg <br />You may have to try and get some more weight into the loco if you want more than 4 or 5 skips <br />regards John
