#1

The Cab Command radio control system featuring Back-EMF for low speed control is almost ready for production. I expect to have kits available this coming week. Kits will range from DIY solder savvy hobbyist focused to easy to assemble plug-n-play.

For more information please go to http://www.cabcommand.com

I will have detailed operations and assembly manuals available shortly as well as a very detailed product comparison sheet. Additional videos will also be linked there.

Here are a few pictures of an install of Cab Command into a small Piko 0-6-0 Docksider. I will receive a mylocosound board very soon and will complete a write up at that time. Until then here are a few pictures of the install and removable lithium battery. I was able to keep the lead weight in the boiler as well. I also installed a battery/track switch for power hidden behind a toolbox under the cab. The loco realistically putters quite slowly under Cab Command’s Back EMF control and has nice smooth acceleration through the entire throttle range. It’s not a USA Docksider but for the price is a great little engine. russ You can see the size of the battery:

Always thought the boiler would be a reasonable place to hide a battery. But then, my mainline engines have tenders.
