I was more than done with the
"if you had been there" thread, but since you asked- cheap
battery powered trainsets. 
The locomotive is seen here. Two of them
were the starting point for U36B 2972. Considering the effort that
entailed, I'm not too put off by the prospect of upgrading  its younger
cousin 6573 (seen in its out of the box state- forgive the couplers). Some
of it is definitely more accurate than my handiwork was.
