Chopper (is that how you are happy for us to address you?) - re-reading your original post, I realise that you're probably not asking for general advice on fitting RC, but specific guidance for the particular model you mention in your post.... as you say you've been running RC in your garden for a year now, what other battery locos are you running, and with which RC systems in them? Is the LGB one that you're asking about going to be your first DIY installation job?

Hi Jon, Thanks for the welcome. First off my surname is Cook, & my main hobby is flying scale RC helicopters, nick name ChopperCook. From all who know me.
I got into garden railways when at a model show my wife said she would like a train running over the fish pond, so I set one up, not live rail because it is out side all the year, after a while I felt it was too small, now the track runs all around the back garden over the pond and all. The first Loco I got was the Newqida RC SCALE Harz 2-6-2 steam with 3-passenger carriages. Then I got a Playmobil old timer which I coupled with a tender, added a ECS,2.4 recover & TX, bigger battery & a MyLocoSound steam sound card new paint job. It is a real tough little loco which can pull 7 freight wagons.
I just Love the look of the LGB 20230 2-4-0 Union Pacific locomotive with tender but I will have to convert it to RC battery for my track. I was just wondering if anyone has done this so I could get some idea how to go about the job. You will have to bear with me as I have no knowledge of DCC, chip set, wiring, anything or what I am looking for or what all the talk is about garden railways,
Thanks for your interest. By the way this is the first forum I have ever joined & was surprised how many have a similar interest
