[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by ballhog24</i> <br /><br />Good afternoon all, <br /> <br />I have a Bachmann 4-6-0 steam engine that I want to convert to battery power to run on about 90 feet of LGB brass track. I've done some searches and read on principles and applications, but have yet to be able to come up with a decent materials list. <br /> <br />Would it be possible that someone who has experience in the conversion of battery power could post a materials list as to what is necessary? i.e. <br /> <br />Batteries - of course...but whats the best type to use? <br /> <br />wiring connections? Is there a kit available, or is it all home made stuff? <br /> <br />What type of controller would be good to use? And is there any type of control board or box that has to be installed into the engine for this? <br /> <br />If someone could help a "greener" in this venture, I'd sure appreciate it. <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote]
