[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by grandpopswalt cappy, In my humble opinion you should seriously consider on-board RC/battery control. Today's batteries will give you about 3 hours of continuous running between chargings. If you install the batteries so that they can be easily exchanged, such as in a tender or trailing battery car, you can be up and running again in a few seconds (as long as it takes to change the battery). Battery technology is advancing almost daily and tomorrow's batteries will last twice as long. With RC you can control each train individually, not have to worry about track cleanliness, and rail joints and block insulation issues are moot. You can even run two locos in tandem and set them to share the load. Add to that the ability of multiple operators being able to take control of any engine and you've got real flexibility. Instead of scrubbing the tracks before each operating session, you only need to go and kick the big stuff off the right-of-way and off you go.
