Battery Powered Wireless Control Systems for Model Trains

On-board battery with radio control (aka Dead Rail or Power-On-Board) offers exceptional engine performance and simplifies layout design.

Enjoy flawless control of engines.  On-board battery provides uninterrupted power to DCC sound & motion decoders... no stalling, no glitching, no flickering.


Gain freedom from track wiring and associated track power problems:

-Eliminate poor performance from dirty wheels & track.  

-Build reverse loops, wyes or turntables that no longer require any complicated circuity.


On existing layouts, deadrail engines can run simultaneously with track powered DC or DCC equipment.
