My railway is in the dream mode so far but my wife and I have just bought a new house that has plenty of room for my layout. My comment is more in the way of a question. Is it necessary to use battery power with RC? I have a background in electronics and I can think of several way to power a train from the track. I have yet to see a system that uses a form of track power combined with RC which I suspect says more about my neophyte status than a lack of such a system. It's either not possible for some reason I'm unaware of or it exists and I haven't seen it yet. I could see just replacing the batteries with track pickups run through rectifying diodes to guarantee the proper polarity or if AC power is preferred (appropriately stepped down) rectifiers and a solid state voltage regulator on a simple circuit board could provide a clean voltage source. But it's early days and I just don't know what's available yet. Here's hoping someone could enlighten me. Thanks wmalder
