Nice little loco, add some cargo wagons and it will look superb.

Apart from the Shinkansens (bullet trains) most plarail are usually single speed - stop and go

The Shinkansens usually have two speeds, normal and fast.

If you ever dip your toe in the water of PlaRail Advance you again only get 1 speed, but you do have the option of forward and reverse which can be handy

thank you - i'm still slightly puzzled though as i notice on videos that some trains go faster than others and not just the bullet trains.
