Does anyone have one of these available?
I just found my old handheld controller, and if I can find the onboard reciever, I’ll have a remote control train for my son for Christmas.
JD,
I have at least one working Trackside TE that was used in a boxcar for a short while. Its currently out of the case, but it would work well in a full-cowl locomotive. Let me look around to see if I have an on-board too… I rather liked the trackside unit better since it had larger current capacity.
Uhh… there was never a 75 mhz trackside… and the 75 MHz plug in unit did not have a case.

I have 2 I do not need and one has the optional relay card with 5 relays for the a-e keys.
These are the 75 mhz units for the grey transmitter.
The trackside TE I have is 27MHz for the black controllers…my 27MHz onboard is in the landfill where it belongs!
RE: 27 MHz on board Aristo receiver
You actually had one of these?
I’ve never seen one in the flesh, how well did it work?

I have one in my Aristo FA and I can switch between that and track power. Unfortunately, the NiCads never liked to hold a charge so are not in there anymore. But the receiver still is. Used to work fine.
BTW, this is my second. My first exploded the capacitor with a partial short. A/C fixed/replaced it for free at the time.
Greg,
Yes I had one of these (27mHz) back in the day! I intended to install it in an FA or Rs-3, but it never graduated from testing-phase in an open gondola battery car. The range was terrible, but everything worked okay. I seem to remember the speed step, or momentum feature was greatly exaggerated, leading to accidents. This may have been operator/programmer related. Current capacity was also limited.

I put a fan in the engine to blow across it. Current capacity was never an issue with the FA.
I still have the 75 mhz receivers, send me mail if interested.
