Sloooooooow Downnnnnnnnnnn! <br />Most modelers dont have a concept as to really how fast you are going as it is. Case in point, at one of our recent gatherings, one of our club members produced one of thse digital speed detectors and we set it up on the layout. as each engineer approached, he was asked to guess his speed. Pretty much everyone was wrong![:o)] What most engineers thought was a 50 m.p.h. clip, turned out to be 75 or 80 mph! <br />As far as testing a new loco at high speeds, I wouldnt do it. IF it derails, not only could it get damaged, but also think of what damage a pound or so of train crashing into a craftsman type line side structure could do![:(]
