Note to self: Check schedual for pending trains

Unbelievable...What you can do with a 2 1/2 HP gasoline motor. They move along at a pretty fast clip too.

You have to remember the law of physics. Once the "train" is started moving, it does not take much power to continue to move on a level track because there is no friction.

Oncoming train coming your way no problem just disassemble and reassemble when it passes. They were moving pretty fast too. Although I think that be pretty scary to ride.
