If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

I must be doing something right. The good karma points have given me 2 trips without any trouble of any kind. I gotta do something to replace the points used soon.

That yellow rail had a RPM Rev box.  I do know that.  I looked at it pretty close to see how it was constructed.  I know how John's is put together and was wondering if the RPM was built any better.  I don't think so.

TURBO MOTOR,LOWERED COMPRESSION PISTONS. rpm box. Says 3 years that way. Sprocket rear with around 7:1 ratio. Rpm box is much smaller than a jeffco. I think it had 1300 padlatraks with #2 paddles.Weight was around 1600 IIRC. Suspension was set way too high and likely that and too much air in paddles hurt climbing ability bad.
