4.5V train on radio DCC!

My 4.5 volt battery train on radio DCC!

This is the best thing you could do with your battery trains! This is the kit as received nicely mounted on a card for testing prior to fitting to the train.

The hand held radio control that can control several locomotives, electronics on the card including the radio module along with the DCC controller chip and voltage converter and battery managment circuit. The LiPo battery and a pencil with a magnet on the end used to operate the magnetic switch on the battery electronics.

The controls and battery mounted in a short Lego wagon..

Of course there is the obligatory video of the train in motion..

The S-Cab equipped 4.5V battery train running very smoothly at near its lowest speed setting.

Google S-Cab to learn about S-Cab radio DCC and where you can get the necessary parts.

Excellent, a very clean install in that wagon and great video!

Is the train running off that Lipo now as well, looks very small, how many studs is it? Can you still recharge from the power rails?

[John Hill]

Hi, yes the train runs off the LiPo which is a bit less than 4 studs by 8 stud and takes up most of the floor of that little wagon. The wagon has 12V power pickup underneath and will take a charge whenever it encounters about 3V or more on the sections 12V conductor rail. I should have put the train on blue plastic rails to make that all a bit clearer.
