Row, row, row your coach
Gently round the lawn
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
The WR is born

we had a friends and family day at our miniature railway the other day. My mate assisted my battery loco up the bank with his crutches (broke his foot!) when the battery died!

Arm power is a realistic way of powering larger scales but would be problematic on 32mm and 45mm due to scaling issues but when track testing in these gauges non mounted arm power has been applied to wagons to facilitate movement.

The fact that you pushed them doesn't count

Have you thought about building an incline and pull yerself back up by a rope!

No, the general consensus is that gradients should be avoided if possible in 5 inch gauge circles...

I have heard of those I believe they are called rollercoasters

Why isn't pushing considered as arm power
