Hello All,
New to the "Remote Control" aspect of model railroading. Using LGB Locomotives, mostly older non DCC stuff. I bought the new 2.4 TX and Track Base and think its wonderful. The way I understand it is there 2 receivers that can be bought, a 15AMP track side unit and a 5AMP on board (CRE 57002) unit. Well, I have no idea how to hook up the on board RX to my old (or new DCC ones for that matter) LGB Locos, nor do I want to really add these RX in all my Locos. So, what I was wondering was could I use the smaller on board RX as a track base some how on smaller loops or on a reversing unit if I limit the AMPs and only run a small single motor on that track? I hate the idea of spending the money on the big 15AMP Track bases and put them on several different tracks but only utilize a few amps on each... Does that make any scene what I'm asking
BTW, is there a converter that makes these hook up to LGB Locos easier?
Thanks,
Gregg
