I completed my Battery operated remote controlled train project

JuhaOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

I finally successfully completed my battery-operated remote-controlled train project.

The power unit with the wireless receiver, is located in a modified caboose, pulled right behind the engine.
I wired my post-war and MPC NW2 switchers to work with the power unit. Both engines have switches to swap the power feed between the rail pickup and the battery power.
If you are interested in watching a video on how I did it, here is a link to a short video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/8RNs3MFPRK4
You can also watch a very short demo of using the e-unit wit the remote (at beginning of my snow-plow video): https://youtu.be/tBRIDFbEkpk

I will use this setup indoors, and outside when weather allows (not leaving it outside), and it is also handy to take it with me, track and all, to events or friends' houses, etc...
