i could explain the only way i know how to make

breaks.....

if you put a rubber band around the piece that catches the

chain(I will post a picture showing how to put the rubber band on)
then you put

chain down on the middle of the track.... when the train goes over the chain it will

slow it down to a stop..... (if you motorize the chain once the train stops it will be

pulled ahead until a second train [if you have two sets]pushes it forward to a lift hill or

small drop or whatever you want)

sorry if you don't understand... but

its kinda hard to explain.

do they stop the train or just slow

it down? i dont have a second motor, so i could just do it manual(y), also do you have a

side veiw?

no i don't have a slide

show .... (not realy sure what you mean by "slide Show") it all depends

how long you make the brakes if it stops it completly or just slows it down
