General question not brand specific. I recall some stress around Lionel pre installing a battery in the Century Club GG1. For those who wanted to keep it mint on display the huge task of removing the battery was a must. Since then do any modern traditional and higher end Steam or Diesel locos from any of the major manufacturers come with some type of battery pre-installed? And if so would it be a type that can leak acid after years of non-use? If this is the case I will need to scramble and remove them from my 1990's/2000-2020's locos. I hope this is not an issue and no mfgr would pre-install a batter in a costly product that in many cases may not be run for years. I think on some LionChief products that batteries were provided outside in a box cubbie but I may be imagining that as well. Thanks for any insight here.
