I cant find an online source but electronics australia had a `kit form' train controller for g scale that used valves...
and the guy that made the remote control for the `herby' used in the early herby movies was a remote control `freak'- one of the first movies used a harmonic(??... harmonica) to play the tones used for different commands...
(from memory they used a mid 60's valiant (thats an aussie built chrysler) windscreen wiper motor to drive the vw beetle steering shaft via a bicycle chain)
they also crashed it at one point, taking out a few dozen meters of a farmers fence...
