Reply to "RC Control"

Justin_LOGR Forum Member

For me I would love to have RC control with battery power. I do not have many engines so it would not be bad to convert my engines. However what I really wish either Lionel or MTH would do is to make their existing controls, (legacy or PS3/DCS) be able to receive RC commands instead of through the rails. Then add a jack to the engine to allow plugging in a battery car or leave it unplugged and run off of track power.

With that approach they, (Lionel or MTH) would still be able to sell their own control systems and no one would have to retrofit old engines. Then they could sell a battery tender or box car that has the charging system designed to use track power and a 3-2 rail switch and you could run on 2 or 3 rail with or without power to the rails.

I know this is just wishful thinking but it is nice to dream every now and then.
