When I was younger, it was all or nothing. With some of the really tight curves out there, I am usually reluctant to let the Hammer Down unless I have taken a few laps around to see how the track is. A friend of mine likes to run his at top speed. Add a 3% grade and a shifting curve that is varies from 22"to 24" in spots on both a up climb and a down climb I always say a prayer when the train goes thru that particular spot. It is credit to excellent track work that he is able to do this. Most of the derailments and problems happen below 30% of top speed anyhow.
