the answer is try to keep the train either bunched or stretched at all times. you do have changes in the slack as the train goes over different terrain. this is what makes a good enggineer. he knows his territory like the back of his hand and can adjust for the upcoming changes. say like i am going down hill and i know i am coming to a bunch of camel humps. normally if the locos were good i would put on first service on the train and drag it overthe whoop-dee-doos. some casers you woul rather have the train bunched up.all depends on your power, the weather, the train length and weight.
