Hmmm...I don't know why it wouldn't work, unless you need to lube your wheel axles. Your train looks fine, it could be longer, but as long as it works, that's great. You are conserving your speed wonderfully.

ok, a couple of things. first off, i am sticking with my three car train because i already made my station to fit it. second, it makes the circuit a little faster now because i adde more wieght. and third, i would have put a test video up but the battery died on the cammara halfway through the circuit. so i will post the video tomorrow once i clean up. then alls that is left to do is finish the station and come up with a name. so any name suggestions are greatly appreciated. once i have a couple more i will put up a poll.

You don't need to do a poll! Just tell us the names you're thinking of, and we'll give you our opinions.
