Well they got that right! I remember from working on them.. give them too much and you will come to a stand,, many a time we stopped short in as platform... had to get the train to a run in speed of 10 - 15 mph with brakes off at start of platform https://www.flickr.com/photos/jetgriff/48697144273/in/dateposted-public/ first impressions.. great!
I really like the class 45 and the NTP route. Since you worked with them, I would really appreciate your opinion on my question about breaking. I left it in the xbox section here: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/how-to-use-the-breaks-downhill.24409/
