I am using a Massoth Central Station with a Navigator and a 81330001 RC receiver of which I have lost the antenna and I suppose that it can explain erratic working of trains. I mean I can start a train with the Navigator, but after a while it runs by itself and becomes completely out of control.
What can I use to replace the antenna?

We used a piece of stripped Copper Mains wire, about same length with a loop on the end like the Massoth one worked well enough on the LGB RC receiver, Can see no reason why the same would not work on a Massoth system. I think we used the Earth wire being closer in size to the LGB antenna.

Thanks, Jon, I was not sure about the kind of metal I could use.
