ssculptor Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Two years our home caught fire which caused the destruction and making unreadable of my entire library of books and magazines (6,000 items). Our house is rebuilt and now that I am returning to G gauge modeling I would like to dispense entirely with power through the rails and go to all battery operation. Also I want radio control operation of the speed, sound, smoke, etc. But I really know nothing about any of this really interesting stuff. So I am starting over as if I was a newbie to model railroading. Are there texts or magazine articles that explain what all these different systems do and how do I make a decision on which to use? I do not know DCC from Airwire or any of the others. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help. Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Stubbs Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This is a pretty good run down on battery, Sound, and remote installation on a USAT F3 http://ovgrs.org/the-trains/battery-power-radio-control-and-sound/usa-trains-f3-a/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssculptor Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Thank you. I will contact them to see if there is a set up for steam locomotives, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
