QUOTE: Originally posted by machinate I am thinking about doing a runaway mine train or, Indiana Jones style mine car layout in Ho or N. Has anyone seen one done? Im thinking a deep forest run with steep grades and wide fast turns. I know we normally do things slow but I think its time for somthing new. Some info on a high gear motor would be nice also.
