I'm just finishing up an install of the new Air Wire G2 and a Phoenix P5 and P8 sound unit in Aristo FA locos. Locos were gutted for the job. 1 A/W G2 powers both locos with no difficulties. One motor output powers the lead loco and the second motor output powers the rear loco. The G2 also powers two seperate Pheonix boards, the P8 is in the lead loco and the P5 is in the rear loco both are controlled from the DCC sockets on the G2, but the new P8 draws it's power from the battery. Each loco has a seperate programming jack and volume switch for its sound unit. Both locos have been outfitted with LED headlights and the lead loco has been outfitted with flashing ditch lights. The lead loco carries the G2 and the battery which is a 14.8v 6.8v LiIon.
My friend doesn't need the locos seperated so this gives him the option to have a set of FA's or he can disconnect them and use the lead loco on it's own. The G2 handles everything well. Range is good and run time is about 3.5 hours of constant use. I think I covered everything if you have any questions please ask.
