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 ?

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

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:
