The late Joe G. mentioned something about the Tam Valley system and there was something that didn't "fit" and he went to the Stanton S-Cab for part or all of what he needed (I'll have to go back and read his posts about it to confirm).
The issue I have with most of the present RC systems made for O/G scale is they're just about as expensive as the current systems we use (TMCC/Legacy/DCS). Ed Reutling has shown it can be done with cheaper, readily available, and swappable/universal systems that are already in use in the RC car/truck world and cost less than the systems made for O/G.
Has anyone tried fitting a G scale RC system (like the ones that come with Bachmann sets) into an O scale engine? Can you even buy the complete system as a separate item? Bachmann's RC system may be a cheap ($) way to go, but since when do we have to have the most expensive item money can buy just because we're O scale?
I'm just throwing darts here and trying to hit a target, by no means am I an expert in all things RC (although I used to fly RC planes back last century).
