Ah ben y faut ce qu'il faut !
Voilà la copie du texte que j'avais reçu de Bernard Snoodyk, qui est l'instigateur de la technique :
Good morning Franck
Thank you for your note.
In response to the questions raised the following comments:
- Nick's loco is a Hesketh O&K kit which I built for Nick. The etched
chassis was discarded and a new brass chassis built to a) improve the
running qualities and allow the axles to be removed from the chassis as and
when required and b) to provide additional weight for traction.
- the solid brass chassis was left slightly shorter to enable the 300mah
LiPo battery 20x40x5mm to be placed vertically inside the cab rear wall.
The battery sits below the window line and above the bottom of the rear
beam.
- the chassis is fitted with a 180:1 3v gearhead motor driving the front
axle via a set of cross helical gears.
- the Trainworx controller is available from The Model Works Australia as a
complete package including:
- fully wired receiver, isolation switch, charger plug and battery
(battery sized to suit your model, or as above) all per-bound to the
controller as a ready-to-run unit. You would need to place this in the
loco and connect 2 wires to the motor.
- complete ready to run controller (as per photograph) Note that you
would need to provide/install the 9v battery to the controller.
- 220v battery charger complete with connecter to attach to the loco
charger plug.
This complete package costs $A 165.00 free post to you and is available
ex-stock
For your information the controller allows a further 5 locomotives to be
bound to it without change to the wiring. However only one locomotive can
be operated at any one time. If other locomotives are fitted with the
Trainworx receiver pack the controller will automatically find the
locomotives that is "live" i.e. has the on-board power switched on. The
receiver pack required for each additional locomotive is approximately $A 65
depending on battery selected.
I expect that we will be able to supply a more sophisticated controller
Trainworx Multi within the next 4 weeks. The Trainworx Multi will have a
locomotive selector knob on the controller in addition to the standard
speed, direction & momentum switches, which will allow selection of a
specific locomotive at any time during operation. The new Trainworx Multi
will increase the package cost by $A35 to $A200. Trainworx Multi allows 7
locomotives to be bound to a single controller.
Couple of other points that you need to consider, namely:
- locomotives can either have fully insulated wheels since the Trainworx RC
system does not require any track wiring;
- if the wheels on the Trainworx RC locomotive are insulated it is possible
to operate the RC loco simultaneously with DC or DCC locomotives on the same
track.
So in summary I can supply:
- any 1:35 locomotive complete with an onboard Trainworx installation ready
to operate;
- provide ready wired receiver, switches and battery packs to install in
your locomotive;
- provide 2 options for the handheld controller
- provide a complete pack, e.g. receiver pack + controller (either option)
for installation in your locomotives.
Hope that helps. Contact me at any time if you need more information on the
Trainworx radio control system.
With best wishes

Hi Bernard,
Could you possibly tell me what I need exactly to make the same RC control
that you have done for Nick for his MD2, see attached photos?
- Loco
- Handeld controller
- Cabling or electrical drawings
Thank you so much!
Best regards,
Franck
Les photos...
Le système est basé sur des accus de type 300mah LiPo battery 20x40x5mm, plus performante que Li-Lion,
les LiPo sont couramment utilisées dans les voitures RC...Ici le jeu peu durer 4 heures sans problème...
Ainsi plus aucun souci de prise de courant, les modèles sont totalement autonomes...Inconvénient, ça marche bien pour des modèles au 1:35, voire au 1:43.5 de taille généreuse, en Oe et Om,
après il faut voir la puissance, surtout avec certaines locos en Om...Pour les petits modèles en O14 on peut oublier...
Autre inconvénient, plus de son, pour ce qui aiment ça, plus possible, à moins de se bidouiller un truc avec un bruiteur embarqué...
Perso, pas franchi le pas encore, me tâte toujours pour le DCC, d'autant que maintenant on trouve des télécommandes autour des 150 / 200€, le son oui, mais rien en petits moteurs, type mono cylindre ou bi-cylinbres...Et puis l'investissement dans une télécommande DCC pour ce qui me concerne, me semble quand même suredimmensionnée, je n'aurais que deux voire trois locos maxi, à piloter...donc une bonne petite alim à courant continu pur, avec un bon vieux circuit R/C, me suffira largement, pour ce que j'en aurais à faire...et pour le son, ben soit je colle un décodeur son dans la loc et l'alimente en analogique, soit je passe au DCC...
Pour la télécommande RC de Bernard Snoodyk, cela vaut le coup pour les gens qui ont des modèles qui peuvent recevoir batteries et contrôleurs...
