<div dir="ltr">I agree with Guenther regarding having some sort of track cleaning car on each train. The track is so often so dirty that Ron Chapman and I spend almost the whole time during Friday sessions just cleaning track so we can run other trains and even pay extra visits to the club to do that.<div><br></div><div> But regarding the minimum limit on number of cars on trains, if this is what I think it is, I personally do not think that would be a good idea. Not sure about other members, but I have a couple of locomotives, in particular my Analog GE AC4400CWs and my Genesee & Wyoming-painted CORP SD40-2, that are really restricted in the number of cars they can pull before stalling coming out of the Hidden Yard or climbing the grade into Jamestown, especially if I run heavier cars, and I don't want those engines just being limited to switching industries just because they can't pull as many cars when there are short local trains that do run on the mainline.</div><div><br></div><div> - Jamie </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 15, 2017 at 12:47 PM, ACCRS HO Scale <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:accrs-ho@mail.accrs.org" target="_blank">accrs-ho@mail.accrs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Message From: <a href="mailto:g.sound@sbcglobal.net">g.sound@sbcglobal.net</a> <a href="mailto:g.sound@sbcglobal.net">g.sound@sbcglobal.net</a><br>
