In one of our recent videos, we demonstrated that select Vintage Lionel Trains and Accessories can be run using external DC Power. An article recently published in an online electronics magazine noted that it was possible to power and remotely control certain G-Gauge model trains with a battery module mounted inside one of the cars or a tender. In this video, we move this concept one step forward and run a Vintage Lionel O-Gauge train using an eight AA cell battery pack as the sole power source. The train has the ability to start, stop, and slow down using an on-board microcomputer connected via an iPhone Bluetooth app. -- Our Books are available for purchase at www.ChooChooVille.com or directly from Amazon.com

Very clever idea of powering the tracks from a car!

One could use the microcontroller to e.g. generate a 60Hz square wave output feeding a four-MOSFET, or four Solid-State relay ICs, H-bridge, turning the DC into AC. That complicates the circuit a bit, but would solve the problem of the E-unit becoming magnetized. If the 60Hz signal is in addition PWM-ed, then the train speed could be controlled. And by changing the duty-cycle slightly, a small DC offset could be introduced to control the whistle.
