Back I the Spring of 75 My Father and I picked up a Miller S scale SW2 switcher, and hosted our first meeting of the Badgerland S Gauger's. The Miller switcher had no reduction gears, the motor armature, was the axel, and there were 4 of them . Well we turned on the power, well it crawled , then faster and faster, hit the curve at full speed, then OMG , the lift section ( over the doorway) was still up in the air. As it flew off the table , it seemed to arch in slow motion, just before it hit the floor . and exploded!
