Ok then, what happens after you have created separate blocks when the
train goes from one block to the other?  For example, how do you get the
speed regulator for each block matched up enough so the train just take on
a blast of speed or slow way down.


If the controllers are set to the same "notch" (there are only 5 speed levels
each direction on a lego controller) then the train will not really speed up or
slow down much.

I usually just set the 2 throttles to about the right level, and let them fight
it out over the lenght of the train.  I won't do this going up hill, because
the train would likely break apart (I have about 70 ft of grade, at about 2/3
plate/length slope).
