|
| (...) Some of the late steam era passenger trains could manage quite a pace. Besides, the occasional catastrophic LEGO train derailment can be kinda fun! With the maximum speed I am generating, derailment is not a risk. (...) Absolutely true. (...) (16 years ago, 19-May-09, to lugnet.trains)

|
| (...) Slower is more realistic and will not derail on corners. I always run my steam engines as slow as I can without stalling. The better question is how many cars can it pull slowly and how long does the battery last? Thanks, Bruce (16 years ago, 18-May-09, to lugnet.trains)
