If it runs very very slowly, LUCKY YOU! Seriously, I've become convinced that running our trains slower just adds to the magic. For one, it really feels like you're going somewhere when it takes a full (!) 30 seconds to get from one stop to the next. For another, when you watch a real train from any distance, it moves "slowly" across the horizon; slowing down your models makes them look more realistic and less toylike. Third, it IS more realistic, scale-velocity-wise, for reasons such as those provided by cacole. <br /> <br />So my advice is...give slow running a try. My problem is with the Bachmann and Lehmann Toy Train Porters I use...they go too fast! If you have an engine that can crawl without stalling, that's great. I love that little Accucraft Porter, but I can't justify the expense right now.
