Thanks,
Bruce, actually I was able to stop pretty good. I just started out REALLY slow going down the 5% grade then put the locomotive in reverse and cracked the throttle just enough to get it to slow down. I have train brakes on the gondola and riding car, but I was unable to get the plumbing hooked up on the locomotive before the meet.
I hope you had a nice anniversary.
Phil,
Thanks, I hope you will be able to come next time.
