I don't want to pretend i know more than you, but i doubt that is a 3mph collision. I understand that you have the weight of the train behind you, but 3 miles doesn't seem like enough to do that amount of damage to an arnine. Unless they lacked the reinforced end bulkhead beams. The couplers would damp the collision. Maybe 7-9MPH? I just have doubts about that being a 3mph collision.I've seen coupling action at speeds above that, and it is surprising to see the trains stop during coupling, albeit with a BANG. Though the best way to couple is at a crawl, so you can "hear the pin drop". I read that that is your train, but what hapenned? Did you key by? Was the set acting up before hand? Did it happen during the dark ages when trains recieved no maintanence? Was it your last? |
