@Ron045 posted:I really enjoy battery power trains. Like the others here who either dabble or are hard core I would enjoy a forum to discuss solely this topic. Unfortunately, we have been asking OGR for at least 2 years and hear, "That's not a bad idea" but then we never hear or see anything. It seems unless you are Legacy, TMCC, DCS or Conventional, you are just some oddball freaks. I have news folks... this stuff is wildly popular if you take your head out of OGR and look around the internet. There are many different control systems to choose from that have compatibility with each other... Even MTH PS3 and Lionel Lionchief. ...
I am more than willing to help anyone learn more. I can answer many questions on BlueRail, RailPro and using LiIon (Not LiPo) batteries. I have many videos on YT user my same user ID if you are interested... or just email me.
I've grown tired of the nay sayers telling me how to enjoy my hobby or what they perceive are my limitations because they don't have a clue what they are talking about. I've enjoyed OGR for many, many years but lately find myself frequenting other forums where I can discuss this topic of BPRC with others who have a passion like myself.
Are you listening OGR? You have an opportunity to grow and capture a different segment of the hobby to bring even more people together. Unfortunately, more people here put us down and tell us how we are wrong for doing what we like.
Why all the anger, hate, and bitterness regarding a hobby that is supposed to be fun?
Have you offered to submit an article to OGR? I'll bet that @Allan Miller would give it serious consideration. Easy to complain about what someone else is (or isn't) doing - requires more effort to take the initiative and create some content.
Recently, the LCCA magazine published a series of articles about modifying engines for dead rail. There's plenty of interest, but the information needs to be submitted by knowledgeable readers.
