Video of the Faller Car System - Model Railroader Magazine

Hi gang!

I just came across this video of the Faller Car System in operation and I'm curious to know what you think of it (let's not focus too much on the cost if we can).

I have a love/hate relationship with the system. I love seeing the vehicles run but I hate seeing them stop. In other words, my biggest criticism of the car system is that the vehicles do not operate very prototypically, especially when they come to a stop. There is no smooth deceleration. The vehicles stop very abruptly. That bothers me a great deal.

I'm not sure what the solution would be but I'm sure somebody could come up with one. If the vehicles could be made to come to a gradual stop and slow down for the corners, I think that would add enormously to the realism. 

What do you think?

Cheers!!

Dave
