So far they run well through the curves but I havent had a chance to try
them through switches. There doesnt seem to be any interference with the
laders. And I belive they tend to run the container cars in groups of 3's
and 5's. Now I dont know if that is totaly dependent on the make of the cars.
Thanks for checking them out.
