I love my new coaches, but the axles drag so bad the wheels hardly move. While some I'm sure is due to the bushings not being worn in yet, the wipers (as on the caboose) add a LOT to the problem.
I'd like to convert them to battery, but am not sure on how to proceed. (What size battery? Direct connect (with switch) or need resistor, etc.)
The first idea is to place a battery in the corner without the window, but I have not had it apart yet and am not even sure if that is a lou or a cast iron stove/heater. If a lavoritory, it would be great to hold a battery and I was thinking the chimney cout be modified into a rotery switch. Perhaps a 9 volt could be placed under a bench if it is a stove in the corner. . .

Has anyone already done this? If so, How?
