Many years ago when engines had the old open frame motors, I had a Hobbytown 55 mph geared GP-7 as a "HUMP" engine. I built the hump with several Kadee uncoupling magnets and that engine would creep very slow and every 10 seconds or so a car would uncouple and roll into a class track. I would get a cold Coors and watch it, oh 2 or 3 cans worth. Lots of fun. Date: 01/03/21 00:28 Re: Flat Switching Author: SP4360 Damn good cast iron shoes on those double clasp brakes. lol

I do it often enough that I knew pretty much what to expect from the equipment, Set up the camera, turned it on, and did three takes.
