James,
taking your word for it -- and I do -- I was very surprised that we couldn't
recreate a similar scenario. Question, did you acheive these results on a
straight run or otherwise? Did you run for any appreciable amount of time? I
believe we unofficially ran for 4-5 minutes.
Now that PNLTC has the track, I'd love to set up some 4-500 foot loops and
tinker around with some super-long consists.

I had about 200 pieces of track as the loop (my upper loop), and about 30 bogie
cars, plus the rest 2 axle cars (so, about 240 axles towed)...the train was 5-7
cars short of being connected at both ends :). Loop was just straight and
corner track, no zigzag's. Run time was more limited by my bordom than
anything else, I was mostly doing it to see how much I could start (with as
much as I had behind the engine, it was a struggle to get it to start).
