Hi all, after a few sightings of the 81 class while out and about in Sydney last month I decided to try my hand at a train MOC. This locomotive was a natural starting point for me with its boxy design and duplicated cabs at each end so integrating PF was easy. I'm also fond of the blue and yellow scheme of Pacific National even if they are more of a darker colour now with the weathering and exhaust stains over the years. The locomotive is set up for an IR receiver hidden between the exhausts and a single battery box and M-motor in the front half (LHS of pic). This should provide sufficient pulling power for a moderate consist however if I move the IR receiver to one of the cabs there's enough space for a second battery and motor. Quick question for the more experienced train builders though, is it possible to control two separate batteries and motors with a single IR receiver? I've ordered the parts to replace all of the light bley temporary pieces and to build powered bogies which should be arriving soon so I'll get some track set up to test this bad boy, I'll post a video of that once it's done. Comments, criticism and questions are welcome, and keep an eye out for more.
