I run engines 90 mph and they don't fall off. I don't do it for more than a couple of passes. I run them at 70 mph all day long. The diesels are more stable. The steam engines rock just like the real ones at high speed. The problem with fast is the car couplers. One of them always releases. I put that car near the end if the train.

1:00 how do I run my trains? Pseudo prototypical speed wise. For freight trains, “fast” I consider to be track speed of 40-70 smph depending on which engine I’m using. Branch line/local freight I usually run 25-40 smph or if I’m running my Shay, never more than 20 smph) For branch line passenger, 30-40 smph and then for mainline passenger, 55 smph up to full throttle depending on the engine. I love to race my Prr K4’s with my NyC Hudson and Mohawk to keep the old Pennsy and NyC rivalry alive on my layout lol.

I liked to run my trains faster than normal( when my layout was in existence) It gives a sense of the trains actually going somewhere and having to meet a schedule , not meandering thru a yard. This winter. when I hope to have some trains running again, I still like a little speed.

Tech tips with RBP sounds great. First episode idea "lionel cab 2 legacy remote for dummies". Plus how fast I like running my trains depends on the locomotive and cars I'm pulling. So it will very, but I will say whatching a large steam locomotive go fast around a layout just looks cool.

To answer your question: I was the kid who laid on the floor at a curve with the throttle set to full (KW) on my 2065 to watch it whip around that curve only to experience a 'dent' in my forehead! The real answer is that it depends on what I feel like. The last layout I built was a traditional tubular track type, a 50's style 'L' with an incline loop to an upper level where I superelevated all of the curves and it worked great at high speed (most of the time)! I must have missed an episode with the addition of your high speed loop. Where did you get those beautiful bridges?

Always to catch with what you're doing, Chris. You always have fun as well inform. As for fantasy paint schemes, I prefer prototype finishes on models. That's not to say I don't like any at all. I think your design for the Katy is brilliant. It adds something unique, yet keeps the familiar, too. I also like the fantasy scheme for the Western Maryland diesel, I guess for its similarity to the Santa Fe red bonnet. Most of the others I'll to other collectors, except for the heritage paint schemes, which have prototypes already running in service. Thanks for another enjoyable layout visit.

My 'test track' loop (11'x17') has an unofficial speed limit of about 45mph freight and 55mph for passenger. --Never had an issue with MTH autoracks tipping, but then I'm using 072 curves and not running full-tilt. Last video run I ran a 24 car train (but have a bit more than 50 of 'em in total). -- You want a tippy auto carrier? Try the MPC tri-levels loaded with diecast cars on all decks. Insanely heavy and they practically _dare_ you to run at anything higher than 20smph. Last video I did of that train I had 33 of them running empty (mixed bi and tri-level, plus enclosed), but like the MTH ones, kept the speed down to a dull roar (otherwise known as 132 wheelsets on tubular rail 😅 ).
