Battery powered radio control Alco RS-11 by GRJ

Tom TeeOGR Forum Member

Gunner John has a new trick. He installed a battery R/C unit into my 2 rail (yes I know this is a three rail forum, just hold on a little) RS-11.

This combo is a neat little bit of encouragement for me. Quite a few of my yards and one branch line are not fully wired as yet due to a management/labor issue. That trackage has been scenery up to now. Well, tonight I have fully rolled over all railheads with out turning on any line voltage. The reason I post this here is because after I ran over 800' of 2 rail track I just picked up the unit and set it on my three rail eye level route. The two rail RS rolled over the GarGraves and Ross with out a flinch. Plus the GarGraves consisted of shallow 11 degree wyes, 0-72 LH, RH & 0-72 Wye switches.

This is truly an engine for all railroads. Thank you Gunner John!!

I should have gone Battery R/C from the very beginning. Think about this newbies and post war folks.
