Are you using Lithium Ion batteries at 4.2v each?
At the moment I'm using a LiPo battery pack recovered from a model quadcopter; it just about slides into the cab.

Re: Transmitter/receiver compatibility

As the OP for this discussion I feel I must tell you which way I've gone in the transmitter/receiver stakes. Firstly, many thanks for your replies (all of them), I found them most interesting. I eventually decided on a 'start-up kit' from Yatton which has duly been fitted in one of my Stainz locos. ...

Thanks Jimmyb, that line sums up G scale garden railways :D

I think a bit more research is in order but it's fun all the same.

Re: Transmitter/receiver compatibility

Thanks for the welcome.

Yes, I rather thought that would be the answer but hoped there would be some sort of compatibility.

Regards,

Transmitter/receiver compatibility

Your thoughts please; I've just dipped my toe in the water of radio control and would appreciate a bit of help.

Is it possible to mix and match transmitters and receivers from different manufacturers (assuming they all use 2.4GHz) or should I stick with one system?

Thank you.

Re: Mamod SL1K Locomotive Assembly Instructions

I've only recently purchased my first Mamod loco (used) so I've still got a lot to learn. Came across your post and downloaded the instruction manual.
Many thanks for posting.
