Could be the motor, the stock motor almost does not have enough torque to push the train in reverse. I imagine adding another car makes pulling the train much tougher as well. Mine goes much faster in reverse and has no issues pushing the train.

short vid to show the difference in speed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfPb09oTnrc

Well here is the finale Got my worm gears in, fitted them on the motor. Desoldered the old motor, the cap on top is just a small .1uF Soldered it all back together same as it was before Got it all back together Back running like a Champ: On my track around my christmas tree...

Small update, still waiting on the worm gears from Europe. Received the Hyper-Dash 2 motor from Japan this morning. Looks like we got a perfect fit. Can't wait to start testing this puppy out.

I agree. I would be willing to pay the high priced for a high quality electric track version of these made by someone like Bachmann or Lionel. I don't see why WD doesn't produce one of quality as opposed to the child's toy version we get. I am serious contemplating just supergluing most of...

I really like the mickey wreath. I am in process of acquiring the pieces needed to make a mini version for my contemporary monorail playset like the real one. My wife has some disney stuff on the inside. I do all the outside stuff, haven't put up any mickey's yet. I wish I had vids of...

As I said in the post you quoted, I didn't know the usage was gender only. Also this wiki dictionary shows it as gender neutral http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tween Along with dictionary.com: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tween Where you are from it may not be gender neutral, I have...

Interviews with Jo, she actually has said this and you can find those interviews with simple google searches. She had a rough plan for the the entire story as she was writing Philosopher's Stone.

Most of it including majors deaths were planned before PS was published.

If it applies to just girls, then I agree it's not a "tween" book. I mean just that age group, not gender restraint.

Women liked the dude from Underworld. True Blood also has some dudes that women like in it. Interview with a Vampire was geared toward every adult.

So you would tell the author that she is dead wrong that her books aren't written for the crowd she wrote them for? Ok you want fact. Go to your local library or book store and let me know the category Harry Potter is located. Or you can just go to barnesandnoble.com...

People will find all kinds of silly reasons to be unhappy anyway. Labeling harry potter a children's book shows that in this thread....

Of course there are differences between Twilight and HP. There are differences between Hannah Montana and Twilight. It's all different styles and different people. There are bound to be a very large amount of differences. LOL, that's your opinion, as is my saying it's a tween franchise...

I wondered what was going on there.

Jo's books are very natural written. They are easily understood by a 5th grader. As my mother in law is a 5th grade teacher, she gets a lot of reports on these books. I have asked her this question before and she says the kids that do read the books, and not just watch the movies as anyone...

I am a 31 year old male that's been reading the books since the second one was published in 99 (USA) before the first movie. That doesn't mean I was Jo's target audience. Her target was and still is kids that are close and in the tween age range. This doesn't mean people outside that target...

HP is definitely a tween franchise. That's it's main demographic. It has tons of readers/watchers out of that demographic because they grew up with it and cause of the movies, but it is definitely geared right at the tween audience. Jo has even says it was written for and directed at kids...

Unless Universal builds on this plan, Disney will keep increasing by doing nothing and IoA will go back to normal. Even as a huge potter fan, there is not enough to keep me going back multiple times.

True to story and conceptual design, I would rather go with Lucas on this one unless Walt himself has been resurrected. As a Potter fan, seeing Jo's world through her eyes made it special. I want to see what Lucas wanted us to see.
