@Tom Tee posted:Using my equipment I find there is a gradual spooling up and coasting down effect with batteries where the operator needs to leave the toy train transformer mind set behind and think more like an engineer dealing with enertia and the absence of drag race starts and taxi cab braking.
There is no way to do a jack rabbit start even if you wanted to. Using the throttle, you normally can only gradually speed up or slow own. Don't take that as too slow of a start, I can get up to full speed in less than 20 feet with a drag if I wanted. There is also an emergency toy train style stop if it was needed.
What I am trying to say is that with battery power there is hand held, walk around prototypical operation available all the time.
To clarify my comments I need to say I am somewhat new with this form of control and my experience is only with the products of Piko and Radio Control Systems (aka RCS).
Robert Buck at: gscaleinstallations.net does a lot of 0 scale R/C installations. Robert is an honest and detail oriented craftsman doing excellent work. He has battery packages to fit anything.
All important features in my opinion.
