Ed, I guess I can understand the concern, but I'm 64 this year and I'm really struggling to get all the feeders installed under my benchwork. Anything I can do right side up is preferable to standing on my head :o) Having said that, I'm quite sure I won't be able to use battery power anyway. My GE 25 tonner barely has room for a Lenz Silver Mini as it is, and I like that loco too much to get rid of it. Still, I can dream. Ed Kozlowsky Sanford, Maine http://www.sscale.org/
