Running 2 trains on the same track at the same time?

[8ntruck]

You could try slowing down the 'fast' locomotive by having it pull more cars or heavier cars.

I've seen 'matched' pairs of motors advertised on e-bay.  I don't know exactly what that means, but there might be something to that idea.

Some of the aftermarket TMCC conversion electronics talk about matching motors in a dual morot locomotive too.

Good luck.

Its funny that this question should pop up today.   I too watched Dav'e video, and only this morning when I logged on had the same question.   Great question.    The other question I was think about is how he is powering the three loops.   I see 2 LW transformers, and that is good for 2 loops, and how about the third.   Also, are the LWs adequate for 2 trains?   I have used LWs many times, but as the load grows, I can smeel the heat in the air.   Great video's and layout Dave.

I was watching the video of David’s PW trains running and noticed he was running 2 trains on the same track at the same time. "Nice video and layout by the way." I tried this with 2 PW 1957 202 ALCOs but one outruns the other. What is the trick to make them run at the same rate? I thought the Lionel motors were made to pull at the same rate. I run two 218s in a ABBA configuration. Are they fighting each other and I don’t know it. What about engines with two motors?

Thanks in advance for your answers and help.
