Bump and Go Trolley Reverse Dogbone Loop

Yes it will just run in the same direction forever. Nothing trick here.

Thanks, I felt stupid asking!

Just don't show the kids how to reverse it by letting it hit your hand!

I have 6 postwar trolleys and would put all of them on one of the loops of track on the layout.  I know it wasn't prototypical or to scale, but it was fun to watch.

Sometimes I would let kids put their hand or arm across the track to act as a bumper.

It will be better than a bump-and-go trolley layout! Less noise of constantly hitting the bumpers back and forth!

Steve,

It would be interesting watching your 6 trolleys on your loop when they run at different speeds!  Mass confusion!

At my old job, I had a MTH bump and go circling the departmental tree for ten hours a day between Thanksgiving and Christmas, averaging, by my calculations, about thirteen actual miles of travel each day.  After three seasons of this, total casualties were one motor and one set of pickups.
