8408 Induction Charger

Viessmann CarMotion HO 8408 Induction Charger

Enables recharging of CarMotion vehicles through inductive communication. Vehicles stop on the Induction Charger and automatically position themselves over the coil. Can be installed at natural stop points such as traffic lights or intersections. For trucks, the ratio of driving time to charging time is approximately 3 to 1, allowing for virtually unlimited driving time. The charger can also switch vehicles on and off. Requires vehicles need to be retrofitted with the receiver coil, item 8440.

Viessmann CarMotion is a system designed to bring realistic motion to 1:87 (HO) scale vehicles on your model train layout. The system uses a rechargeable battery and onboard steering electronics, allowing model cars and trucks to navigate layouts independently with lifelike acceleration, braking, and turning. Vehicles follow a magnet strip and can be programmed to drive certain routes, or pick up commands from magnets embedded next to the road. Vehicles also use infrared to communicate with each other to keep distances and stop on time. Basically, these little fools are better drivers than most of us. ;>
