Actually, unless they changed something rather recently, B&M magnetic trims are not retractable. Here is a picture of Leviathan's trim: https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8682/15614031723_d30c498c42.jpg IMG_7303 by Edward Beavers , on Flickr Actually, this picture ...

Y'all see those trims...more to come... :shh: If it's a magnetic trim, it will only slow the train to a pre-designated speed, correct? I.e. if it;s set to 60mph and the train is going 61 then it will slow the train to 60 but if it's ...
