WizlishWith respect -- isn't that dropping-resistor stuff in model railroading a technology that went out with the '60s -- an excuse for not having a good enough potentiometer in your speed control? I guess it has the advantage of being inexpensive...
Speed Control? What is this speed control you speak of. LIONS have no stinking speed control, no throttles, no reversing switches. Those track resistors *ARE* the speed controls. Railroad of LION is automatic. Little Plastic People (LPPs) inside of each cab control the trains. Resistors slow the trains down for the station, gaps in the tracks stop the trains. A relay starts the trains and more resistors allow the trains to build up to road speeds.
Trains are automatic. No controls, no computers, just a time clock some gaps and resistors and a realy to run the trains, as many trains as I can push out onto the road will all operate correctly.
LION sits up in the interlocking tower, and throws homeballs at the passing trains.
