Because you don't have rails to keep the train confined in line. If you push on the coupling, a trailing car can either slow down or swing out of line and start to overtake the lead car. If you specify that your gravway can apply sideways thrust to keep the thing linear, that's another matter. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
