Yes, the Japanese system uses magnets that attract, then repell the train.EDS - ElectroDynamic Suspension (Japan) - "pull, neutral, push" system. Superconducting magnets in the train are pulled forward by track magnets. When the train is over the track magnet the track switches to neutral, then to the opposite polarity. So the magnet behind the train then pushes it forward.
The best paint to use on small wooden pieces, such as train track pieces would be acrylic paint. To keep paint resistant from water, weathering, and sunlight apply a coat of clear sealant.
Normal Motorcycle Insurance will probably not cover Track use if in doubt you should ask your Motorcycle Insurer they will probably be able to arrange extra cover for your Motorcycle Insurance for a premimum.
If you are inside the train then you can use a device called an accelerometer. If you are outside the train then you can time how long it takes the train to travel two successive distances, and use the SUVAT equations to determine it speed over each of the distances.
some Christmas tree lights. The circuit through the train. The circuit created when you touch your lips to the train track. p.s. Don't attempt the last one. zzzzzzzzzzT. :<O
They are quite expensive to build. Particularly the rail is a lot more expensive than a regular track.
Brio train sets are the train sets that use the wooden tracks that children love. They run on batteries and do not go very fast at all. They will circle a small round circle track in about 30 seconds. They do not list any specific speed for these small trains.
Chances are there is an electrical short in the track. This can be solved by making sure the rail joiners in between the sections of track are connected well. I had the same problem but it was due to dirty wheels that do not constantly make contact to the electrified track. Try cleaning them with a Qtip in 90% isopropyl alcohol...careful not to use too much.
"We use a spreadsheet to keep track of our expenses."
the track has buffers usually at the end of the line because rails are just straight bits of metal and they use buffers to stop the train from running off the end of the tracks. Or they might be used to stop trains that have had a problem and cant stop.
Short answer rocks. That being said railroad track ballast is the cover for the subgrade. Ballast has several functions: * It enables water to drain from the track * It assists in helping control the thermal expansion of continues welded rail * As a train passes the rails it supports the train * it distributes the weight of the train from the track structure to the subgrade * maintains a smooth running surface for the train to run on As ballast becomes contaminated with other materials it looses its ability to do some or all of these jobs.
