Thanks!

I am all battery power. I tried track power for a very, very short time. It was way more work and a headache any time I wanted to run a train. I enjoy just being able to put a train on the tracks it goes. So, I'm not sure how far apart you're feeder wires should be, but I would bet they need to be pretty close together and the track will need railclamps. Also, the rail head will need cleaned with an sos pad.

@@southernillinoisgscale8206 gotcha thank you. What remote and receiver setup did you use? I have 2 new dash 9’s and wondering how hard it would be to convert to battery

@@rc4lifebnsf I use Revolution. While I run batteries inside most of my locomotives, you don't have to. If you have two Dash 9's, they are ready to go. Just plug a batter into the cable by the plow. If you want to power both by one batter they make a MU plug. I think RLD sells them. They are cheap.

@@southernillinoisgscale8206 sweet, but what receiver and remote should I use?

@@rc4lifebnsf The easiest setup is Revolution. The receiver just plugs in to the circuit board in the locomotive. It has the best range and good sound. Railpro has better sound, but the range in horrible. You have to stay close to your train to be able to control it. I'm not a fan of airwire and have no experience with their system.
