I have just completeed my version of an ALCO-like diesel switcher and have
some questions...

1.Does it matter which end I put the power truck on?(mine is rear wheel drive)

2.My large(three unit) gas turbine locomotive has four(4)motors.Does anyone
think this will overwork the single power pack?

3.I use Rail Zip to clean the track,It's an excellent cleaner,but make sure
to wipe all the residue away before operating trains,anybody else thought of
this?

4.I also switched to dummy headlights,they look better to me but want to know
if others find this acceptable also.
