Hi Michael  :wave:

Running your trains at double the volts do they tend to heat up at all and how well do the motors & brushes hold up to the extra power ?

thank you for sharing your videos.  i can only imagine how much time it takes to set up the track and level it on a garden surface, only to have to take it down to mow the lawn.  after watching your trains i wandered over to your website and enjoyed more of your event photos there.  thanks again. kaethe

Thanks for the info, Michael.

I was wondering if I had misjudged your age, as I had always thought that you were a bit younger than the man in the video ...  :klickygrin:
