Another aspect is that those slip coaches got to get back to the start point of their travel to begin the ride, shunted together in the same formation, again!
Makes me wonder if a remote means of electromagnetic uncoupling could be devised (on permanently live track), then with a motorised coach bogie, the slip could be diverted into the station and gracefully halted. That would be something to see!
Awesome again, but I understood that The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway had slip trains first (eg Rochdale Station), which was unusual for them as their practice was to look at why LNWR (and other pre-grouping railways) creations were failing and build their concepts better. An example, L&YR had been faffing about with steam powered coaches when GWR created mechanical Auto Trains, the L&YR came up with non-mechanical control systems for Auto Trains, which under LMS could consist of a Push-Pull train up to but rarely 6 coaches but normally 1, 2 or 4 coaches

Another superb video. By the way, the wonderful Pete Waterman gives you an 'up there to be admired' mention about 22.23 into this video about a current, 2022 layout he's built, now on display. ua-cam.com/video/c3Bi-I4y5yw/v-deo.html. You get a thumbs up, as he talks about scale, inclines, viaducts, flyovers and realistic goals for his project, with Hornby's 'Behind The Buffers' team. Met him last year at this same venue. Now he's back again with another huge layout. We chatted for ages, as he walked over, obviously so passionate. Managed to get a pic with him, after a full day of running, which now proudly features on my page banner. Great advocate for this endearing, creative hobby, like your good selves.
