...The 'other 5' could be set to 'fixed speeds' while we played with
the first 5. I had the best luck controlling two trains on one loop
when I left one at a fixed speed and controlled the other as needed
(course, helps if u pay attention :-)
...When Tom builds us more tables (HINT HINT), we may have enuf track
loop to do 3 trains effectively on one loop (and more than 2 loops to
play with anyway! :-)
...you can go back to ignoring me now...
