Guys,Sounds like a ton of fun to slow down your speedy crew...
However..
It can take a heads up crew 20-25 minutes to pick up and set out a car at a industry.
You really want to emulate that?
IMHO Ed's tongue in cheek method would be the best way to slow your crew down.
Seriously,working derails and working gates still wouldn't slow Mr.Speedy down.He would walk ahead of his train and open gates and derails and forget to close them.
I have invited very few to come and share a "work day" with me on my pass ISLs only because those layouts was small and waiting between moves was a must or you could have switched every industry in less then 5 minutes real time.
