11 cars up that Hill, most impressive. And when it went by you, i thought you had put a remote on it.. 😂

Thanks! I am designing/engineering a radio control system this winter. Actually I am pretty close to ordering custom circuit boards. RC car systems have been used in the past, but I do not want my controller to have a steering wheel! 🤣 If it works it will be great for switching, card order meets, and yard power.

You did an amazing job converting this Devonport locomotive I’m curious who made this engine originally so I can find one of my own I’ve been trying to find a good quality switch engine that either comes as a battery electric or one I could convert into a battery electric like yours

The original locomotive was started by another enthusiast (not a business), but I do not believe he ever had it in operating condition.
