This appears to be a lumber marking pencil. Gees, that’s almost cheating! 
That would require a very small battery and RC RX to run. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)

Nope not this time. . .look close he used the graphite “lead” of the pencil for the rails. Won’t conduct electricity for crap.
Devon, I dunno, we used to light up pencil lead with a 50 volt, variable supply in tech school. The lead would glow like a light bulb filament, for maybe 1/2 a second, before it turned to smoke and went away. So it will conduct quite well, under the right conditions.
That’s a helper loco. A Pencil pusher!
