Hi all,
Can someone plse advise the minimum radius that these locos can handle.
thanks

thanks for the replies,
already a local battery specialist has provided us with suitable replacement battery and the loco has really come alive!
will try and obtain a manual on this system so we can navigate the options and 'personalize' the loco. yes, google has provided most of the answers too !
and thanks,Kevin, for your mag articles and input into the hobby.

Greetings from New Zealand,
my friend recently purchased a used Connie fitted with Soundtrax Sierra system (rev.c.312023)...we know little about this system and would like to know a few answers please...

the onboard battery (like the loco and sound system) appear to be about 9 years old. it has a 'powersonic' battery pack Ps-605wl (6v and 0.5ah).

Does this battery charge during running,via track power? or does it need separate charging.?

after charging for several hours, it read  just over 3 v but by next morning had dropped to under 1v. maybe this needs replacing.

after running the loco for a few minutes, we could get the whistle to operate, respoding to variation in throttle.

under the tender are 2 toggle switches, one momentary, which should contol volume ??. the other seems to switch sound (and lights) on/off.

Grateful for advice from someone who is familiar with this sound system which i believe no longer made ??

thanks so much
