What sorts of power do you use for your locos?
Re: What sorts of power do you use for your locos?
It's odd to see that track power is far less common in the UK then battery or live steam. I guess if asked on the continent, the analogue and digital track powered users would outnumber battery or live steamers any time.
On my railway 2 live steamlocomotives and 3 battery diesel locomotives, one of them is mainly sucking the life out of 24 batteries at once, transferring it into a little bit of movement, so is not used very much..

24 batteries?? Are they 1.2v each? That's a really hungry loco. None of my locos is powered by more than 12v and I run quite heavy trains.daan wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 11:01 pm It's odd to see that track power is far less common in the UK then battery or live steam.

I wouldn’t have track power, it’s bad enough indoors without all the hassle of trying to keep the rails clean thank you...

I would love to see a construction thread about this.I'd love to bore everyone with a construction thread at some point. So you might have to wait for the video
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!
