Hello to all!

I recently built (and unbuilt) a 4565 with an additional 2126.  Trains are
so fun!  I got some switching rails and 2 sets of straight rails and was
running my new big (to me) layout tonight with a locomotive and coal tender
(courtesy of Matthew Bates--thanks!), hopper car, and my own creation
caboose (well, it is kinda like a coach) and cranked the speed up too much.

!!CRASH!!

What is the trick to run full speed with no crashes?

Longer trains?  longer cars?  don't crank it to full?

Well needless to say, the loco and tender are demolished!  Any comments
would be appreciated.
