Deadrail with LocoFi™ 2 on a 2S LiPo
LocoFi 2 can work at as low as 7V which is ideal for a 2S 7.4V LiPo and more possibility of fitting together with the battery in the loco itself
(Model Power, RS-2, Santa Fe #2099)
European loco? No problem!
Contrary to what looks like, DDLLHA will fit even an older European loco with relatively large motor and very little internal space.
