[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by LocoAnnie</i> <br /><br />Captain sir, - have alook at this on e.bay - New Bright 'G' Scale Steam Loco & Tender REMOTE CONTROL 5969037967 <br />This is NOT a New Bright loco as far as I can tell and it has a radio control thingy. <br /> <br /><b>Update!!</b> The auction title has just been changed to - Scientific Toys 'G' Scale Loco & Tender REMOTE CONTROL Item number: 5969037967 <br /> <br />Isn't this exciting! :-) <br /> <br /> <br />Cheers, <br /> <br />Annie. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Annie, <br /> <br />Much thanks on the tip. Yes, this is the locomotive of which I speak. This set, from e-bay, is called the Coastal Express. I have the much less expensive (about half) Silverado Express which is not remote controlled. <br /> <br />It has worked well for its purpose, seeing trains run early on my line and entertaining the local kids (namely my Daughter Miceala). I have begun to alter its original appearance. Painting things that should be black or that would look better subdued, adding some cat walks that will actaully allow my few figures to stand on and turning the caboose it came with into a MOW caboose. I should have pics by then end of the week on the slow process I am taking. As I said before, it is my "field test" bed for kitbashing. <br /> <br />I would like to have the remote one so I won't have to press the button on top to start and stop it (forward and reverse alternatively), especially now that my line is not complete for continueous running. <br /> <br />How about these New Bright types? All I have seen for sail is this Holiday train. Are they battery or track powered? I have seen them on e-bay without a tender. <br /> <br />Well, thanks. <br />Cheers!!!
