You do great, neat, work and that detailed Schematic is awesome. It sure is easy to understand that and it makes it easier for anyone browsing through here to be able to modify a train of their own. Also I see that because of the booster this train is a good candidate for using the rechargeable batteries that only put out 1.2 volts instead of the 1.5 volts that new Alkaline & Lithium's have.
Here is another question for ya. With my laymen s eye, according to the Schematic the booster only operates the 3 LED lights and the engine still runs off just the 1,5 volt AA battery right? Here is what I would be interested in knowing about ...If you installed a single AA battery holder in say a tender or coach and then installed the booster board in the engines original battery space and wired it to the positive/negative of the motor, how much faster would the train run at the 3.3 volts it provides and could the booster keep up with it. For that matter maybe a train engine shell itself would accommodate the battery and the booster with a little modification and avoid running wires to a trailing car. Then, if the test proved successful and the boosters 3.3 volt did increase the speed of a stock motor, how fast would the engine be if using the booster AND replacing the stock motor with a Power Dash?
