I picked up a MMI K-27 the other day, On3, and am considering what kind out layout. I really like the battery RC I have in my Large Scale engines, has anyone tried to put an Airwire reciever in an On3 engine? I think you would have to put it in the tender along with batterys and speaker. Might be able to put it in the boiler, but I don't think you would have the room. If not airwire, is there any other wireless controller so you could use batterys and not have to have any track power? thoughts and ideas?

Jon, I am not familiar with AW, so I can't really say...But I really don't see why not...even if you had to do a trail car setup? I use the RCS brand of control, and those units are pretty small! Ask Tony or TOC, I'm sure they could direct you! Cale

Jon. Don Sweet sells a lot of the RCS BASIC-2 on board for "0" scale installs where only a basic install is called for. For installations that require sound etc he often supplies an ELITE-3 with Phoenix P5 + P5T.

Jon, Mike Pfulb of Mike's Backshop has installed AW in his 0n30 locos. His web page is: Mikesbackshop.com and e-mail is: Backshop@pacbell.net. Tom Rey San Diego

Aristocraft offered an HO version of the Crest radio that worked very well with O scale. I have one in a Bachmann On30 2-6-0 that runs on a 9 volt battery. I don't think they were discontinued but you might be able to find one on Ebay. I don't know if sound could be hooked up to it though. I don't think it is DCC compatible.

The QSI with the Gwire receiver will also work in your loco, it's pretty small, and it is motor and sound... Regards, Greg
