i AM interested in seeing how well it works after that. Does it work reliably? Do you start your route at the same exact spot each time? (i take it you need to leave yourself some buffer and dont put a stopping close to close to the end of the route in case you start the route in a location later than programmed!
I would call it 95% + reliable, but it does vary a bit. I have my subway, which is approximately 16 feet end to end. I start the train within about an inch of the bumper and after running for 20-30 minutes or so (among my longest runs) it ends up within an inch or so of the same bumper.
I have 2 current PCC trolleys and 1 prior. They all run a total length of about 7 feet (2 stops at ends and 2 in the middle) Two of them were about the same as the subway. The most recent one I got from MTH auction #5 is slightly further off than the others, but still manageable.
