Contrary View Huh...

Running backward at speed has been a favorite track tune up tool for me as long as I can remember.  Charlie's right, it can really help.

I had just one thought...

Brilliant!

[There was a second thought... I read the title and thought the article might be about operations and running trains in the opposite direction.  You may laugh, but I have a friend who used to belong to the Denver club where trains used to only run from east to west.  And then he ran trains from west to east one night and you'd have thought somebody dropped brass on the floor... One of my favorite club anecdotes...]

Ouch!

Not only will my trains not run backward on my layout, but they won't even run in the opposite direction forward!  You see I've got this one pesky turnout that causes a problem and I'm going to replace it "one of these days"...(maybe).

Pressure relief ...

Taking the column to take the pressure off "the boss", Charlie?

Not having a copy of the ezine, I am not able yet to fully absorb it, but this is an excellent idea for finding those trouble spots.

UPDATE:

Oh, Oh - got it. Went to alternative download page.
