LGB Stainz batteryised

Post by ge_rik » Tue Mar 15, 2016 7:50 am

Decided to batteryise my trusty LGB Stainz loco. She was my first garden railway purchase and I've hung on to her for nostalgic reasons.

Thought I'd explore the 'easy' option of using the lighting socket on the rear of the loco and a trail car - to see what was involved.

Lots of pulling power. What battery size are you using?.
