JIm, <br />Yes you can use a two channel model car R/C. But,,,,, I don't think you will be happy with it. I installed one in an LGB 2-4-0 starter loco. It was one of the AM units. It worked, sort of. It would run alright for alittle while, and then get a serious case of the jerks. I've been told that the FM units work considerably better, but haven't tried one. I got so aggravated that I converted it to DCC. So I gotta clean track once in awhile. I figure it's the same as the real railroads. They do MOW constantly. Cleaning track is just MOW. Gives me an excuse to run the MOW equipment. I run an Aristo track cleaning car almost constantly, and have yet to have a problem with dirty track. <br />The thing that turned me off to R/C is having to have a seperate transmitter for each loco. <br />Whatever you do, just have fun!!!
