The only problem is that this little loco is so small trying to pysically fit another couple of AA batteries inside it will be a real packaging task!

The Speed control I'm using atm to try to fit all the bits in is only 26 x 26 x 20mm - anything larger than that will mean it'll have to have all the electronics in a truck behind it which is really something I wanted to avoid.

The real loco is only about 7 feet long by 4 feet wide!

Is there anything micro sized? I'm using AM radio and the only small receivers seem to be for FM, is there anything like the speed controls used for those Tamiya Tamtech cars or something which will do what I need but in a smaller footprint?
