I converted a LGB G scale 2-4-0 to battery power. I put in a DPDT switch so the loco can also be run on track power. I used an AM controler and 2 - 9volt Lion batteries for RC cars. I put everything in the tender and had room to spare. The only real problem I have with it is glitches. I'm told that an FM controller is alot better in the glitch department. I'm planning on changing the controller to FM. <br />I find the battery power setup very handy for track cleaning. I make several passes with the battery loco and the track cleaning car before running anything else and then everything else runs good. I use the LGB track cleaning attachment for the 300 mm. 4 wheel cars. It screws on with no mods, drilling or cutting. Has glue on pads of some fairly soft abrasive material. It seems to work great. I put a piece of steel that wieghs about a pound in the car for wieghting. <br />I would definitely advise converting at least one loco to battery power if for nothing else but track cleaning.
