Yep, that'd be it. Take a look at my web page (
http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/2049/FJ/FJ.html
for info on the hopper cars. I've also built a pair of class 24-26 DE's to
pull the train with. These have electrically operated brake vans attached to
them semi-permanantly. It's quite neat to see, and the brake vans add about
the equal braking effect as a motor to the train (long 2 plate grades=
requirement for LOTS of stopping power)
I should finish the grade, so that I have something useful to run them up and
down :)

| (...) How do they work? Do you actually brake the wheels, or just run a motor in reverse? ROSCO (23 years ago, 13-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)
