As many a Michlugger can attest to, running 3 monorails at one time is a
surefire accident in the works.  We frequently run 2 or 3 at our shows, and
eventually 1 or 2 will end up off the track and on the layout. We try to look
out for it, and sometimes will grab the slower one and put it behind the faster
one, but we don't always catch it in time. It's expected now.
