Clockwise or counter clockwise ?Which way do you run ?

Chief--yup, beat to death completely a while ago.

Just run the trains-----who cares which way they go? I'm thinking this thread is counter productive at best[;)]

Both. Did we beat this one to death several months ago. [;)]

You make a big assumption that everyone has a loop of track. At this time I do, but when complete, trains will run both easbound and westbound on any track, meeting and passing along the way.

Clockwise during "Daylight Savings", counter during "Standard". Only use bridges during a "Leap Year". Joe

Mainly counter clockwise. Most horse races are run that way, also speedways etc.
Probably natural to right handed people, which most of us are. Put people in a featureless desert and they will walk in circles, counter clockwise, because most are right footed as well as right handed, and the right leg takes a longer, stronger stride.
So counter clockwise is normal for right handed persons. Maybe someone left handed will tell is which way they like to run their trains.

A thoght just went by me while cleaning up behind my 9 year old's training adventure.He had an Alco on one end and a U-boat on the other end of a small train.I couldn't figure out what way he was wanting to go[?] So it came across me.Do I run one way more than the other?I guess I do prefer going counter clockwise than clockwise for some reason.How about you and your layout ?
