Running

Is is always worth while to image extreme scenarios. I don`t even think of the operation of an extensive layout as in one of our museums. In Britain people have compared with us continentals a much more relaxed attitude to hobbies.In England one can find a group of enthusiasts, which uses free Saturdays to run clockwork locomotives on an extensive model network. This group represents by now three generations.

This is not just random winding up of pretty trains, no there is a timetable to keep. At the start of any journey great care is taken to wind the clockwork depending of engine type and length of train up to the point which ensures that it will run out of power exactly before the buffer beam of the terminal station, Just running clockwork trains can be styled up into a high art.
