Well James, when were you going to let your train club members know what you
were up to? Fast trains.....last night I hooked up a 9v battery pack to a 9v
train motor.... I was actually testing something else (lighting). But, I was
amazed at the speed. If you want a fast train, just run the train from a
battery pack located in a car behind the loco. Oh, more flames coming out of
the jet engine on the green machine makes it look as if it is going faster,
too.
