The newer R/C's from Roundhouse are better, I have one in my Forney which is pretty much glitch-free. However you must keep the transmitter on all of the time. If you turn it off with the locomotive running the receiver goes apeR&$&%$! I don't know how others are doing but my new transmitter batteries don't last very long. After several hours they drop off, especially in cold weather. Seems like the Servo Saver may just pay for itself after on running season on batteries alone!.....Earle
