What is the best place to put the powered bogies in a two car set of EFE cars?
I intend to buy atleast one set when i visit London and run them on club layouts on shows. But these modular layouts always have some "dead" spots, meaning they don't have any current. And as some of these can be relatively long, i was thinking of putting one powered bogie in each cars outer end and somehow linking them together using a DCC decoder. In addition to bridging the problem with the dead spots, i was hoping this solution would give me the best possibility to run them in both directions. Hopefully without one car pushing the other of the track.
But is there a better solution? I don't want to make any large modifications to the outside of the train.
