Porter Conversion to Battery/RC-Shakedown Run
Boy that little engine makes a lot of noise!
Do tell more. What system are using for control and sound?
I like the flat car loads.
Todd,
I used a Crest Revolution receiver with integrated generic steam sound. Batteries are in the side tanks and are Tenergy 8.4 volt NiMH in series for 16.8 volts. The speaker is a 1 inch in a speaker enclosure that I had to put in the cab on the fireman’s side. This is my 6th conversion and the second steam loco I’ve converted. The last one was a Bachmann 4-6-0. I stick with the Crest system since I had to buy the transmitter with the first one and it will handle up to 50 locos. I like the way the Revo system performs as well.
Well done Joe, that is a small engine to fit all the bits into.
