It Depends If you are in a club then they might have a regulation for towns or curves. If your running on your own Layout then it becomes up to you to deside if you want a speed limit in sertone areas.

I've operated on several large layouts and everyone has had speed limit adjustments that where suggested you watch. (It wasn't a hard line enforcement though). The limits depended on if you where in a town, a yard, on a grade or a curve. It adds to the interest of actual operation and it helped keep things running smoothly when there are several trains out on the line.

I have a question that I hope somebody can answer. I was wondering when People are operating their railroads are they constantly adjusting the speed of there trains or are they just leaving It at a Normal pace, because when Im at train shows I see the operators always fidgiting with there controls I take it there slowing there train down for curves then once in the curve speeding the train up
