		Regards, Jim I have almost all Märklin and mostly HO, although I do have a small number of Z gauge trains! So many trains and so little time.

I have seen one of two examples of a B unit converted to radio control for industrial usage. Source: http://www.railpictures.net/vie...php?id=461704&nseq=5 "The Clinchfield Railroad sold its F7B 852 to the Haysi Railroad Company in April 1970. Painted yellow/gold and equipped with remote control, the unit was used for many years to load coal at the tipple near its namesake community. Some 14 years later, however, its days appeared numbered. The unit survived, however, and now resides under a shed at TVRM in Chattanooga. Perhaps one day it will be restored."
