What is the total cost for this system for one complete conversion A-Z from 3 rail AC to DC Battery power and control system?
As and example take any steamer like a scale sized Hudson.
It would be difficult to quote a cost that is consistent across the board. There are many variables.
BlueRail board is a consistent cost as for now it's only available from one source.
Sound decoders are a big variable. $50-$200 depending on brand, type, features. Or are you using the existing PS3 DCC decoder? Then no cost.
Same with batteries. Lots of types brands voltages and sizes.
Then there is the ancillary stuff. Do you need a speaker or do you already have one? Switch? Charge jack? Wire?
Don't forget the battery charger? Do you already have one? How many do you want if you plan to have multiple battery engines? Again all sorts of types too depending on the battery chemistry you select.
I've done 4 installs and each one was a different cost.
Ron
