Yes, our AMT trains have 8 speeds aswell, usually to start we go to eight.. then when were nearing the station go down to about 4... then 0... then apply brakes.. <br /> <br />Consider this. <br /> <br />A spedd throttle is basicaly like a gas pedal.. pretend your foot is your hand.. if the engine is 'throttled' (thanks Keith for the word, i wasn't ure what i was going to put!) to speed 8 is like pushing on your gas pedal full.. naturally your car would take off, so does an enginge (so to speak, in it's slow way).. now move up or down to 4 is like easing off the gas pedal.... and then 0 is like taking your foot of the gas.. your car won't stop... just downspeed slowly until you apply the breaks. <br /> <br />Now either that analogy is perfect or really screwed up. tell me if you get it.. <br />Cheers, Kev
