It dependson what the loco needs in the way of volts. The small locos I use on Flagg Fluorspar run on 2 X AA dry batteries for around two hours, but this is intensive exhibition use.

Don't forget Sanyo Eneloop which hold their charge. I add a futaba charge plug to all my batteries, reciever for R/C steam and electric deisil power. They get charged every now and then. Voltspy lets me know the level but the charge plug can too.

I run mine on 7.5 volt R/C car battery's. Don,t buy cheap Chinese copy's of fleabay they can be dodgy and catch fire.
