Fowler diesel converted to battery power

[ge_rik]

For the last couple of years the first loco which I scratchbuilt (on an LGB ToyTrain motor block) has been languishing on the shelf, waiting to be converted from track power to battery radio control. Today, she re-entered service.

She is powered by three 18650 li-ion batteries (plus protection board) and controlled by a Deltang Rx65a receiver/controller.
At present she has no sound card but will eventually be fitted with something noisy (not yet decided what).

Nice, I like it. Some nice shunting too

Try one of Gregh's picaxe diesel sound cards with inertia, worked for me a treat with my MDC Hustler.

I thought I might give it a try - I've got the bits to make one - all I need now is the time ....
