Don't hold your breath on that one...
Actually, to lower the testosterone level a bit, the origin of the
thread was low speed operation, i.e. switching a long string of cars
at dead slow speeds. Anybody can build a locomotive to run fast or
pull a lot, but building a mechanism to move 40 cars in reverse
through 6 turnouts at a speed that lets you count the ties as the car
moves or start a long train slow enough to watch the slack run out in
each individual car..., now that is something that truly separates S
from HO!
Not saying the models we have built are perfect in that regard, but I
do like our chances! Tug `o war and train races...? I'll leave that
to the folks who revere `AC'.
