I have become curious about radio controlled. The idea of starting with digital doesn't appeal to me. Was advised by a friend who is on this forum and has just become a member himself. Radio controlled is not yet that common in Sweden, more than with a group that runs a live team in 1/18. I a assembled Loco n Stuff, Peckett Cranmore 0-4-0 0ST in 1/35 scale. see picture below. My first question is what kind of motor should I change to? Preferably links to what I can find engine. In the process of building a facility that measures 600 x 3000mm and will run 3-4 carts at most. Rise is at most 35-40mm at 1000mm I've read through the thread and found this exemplary help from 2019. (see below) But maybe something has happened and there are now other better components? Would greatly appreciate help with a revised list of links if there are other smaller and better components. I understand radio control has come the furthest in England so I understand that may be where I will get to shop. If you have any tips on places to buy within the EU, I would be overjoyed as I live in Sweden. Namely, I have some bad experiences with postage, customs and delivery time after Brexit on car parts I bought for my old Morgan from 1967.
