Could you imagine the mess ten trains would have made?  :)   It was bad
enough with three trains, four trains was crazy, and five was plain insane.
We had some spectacular crashes, the scariest of which was Rich's shunter
doing a full-speed head-on collision into a metroliner.  The look of horror
on everyone's face was priceless.  :)

...The 'other 5' could be set to 'fixed speeds' while we played with
the first 5. I had the best luck controlling two trains on one loop
when I left one at a fixed speed and controlled the other as needed
(course, helps if u pay attention :-)

...When Tom builds us more tables (HINT HINT), we may have enuf track
loop to do 3 trains effectively on one loop (and more than 2 loops to
play with anyway! :-)


...you can go back to ignoring me now...
