The GMLTC is planning on having two speed regulators for each track around our
layout. We'll split the layout electrically, so we can have higher power on
the uphill side, and lower power on the downhill side. We really have no idea
how our larger (8-wide) trains will handle the grades...
We're also planning on having some stuff that the kids can control, either
with Mindstorms pushbutton controls, or maybe even a speed regulator on the
outside of the layout somewhere...
