Les....
A good friend, Jerry McKenzie, who belongs to the ABTO (Arizona Big Train Operators) runs 6-8 Eggliners at a time on a rasied, portable 4 x 8 oval layout at different shows. He's run at the Big Train Show, Dan Hoag's open house in Phoenix, etc. There's an "ON" push button control for the kids to push and run them. They chase each other for as long as the button is held down. The kids love them. It's a real hoot to see them run....
This is EXACTYLY what I was referring to that I'd seen. If you have little ones in the house...or grandchildren...this is a GREAT idea. I may have to power just one loop of my layout for this exact concept.
