Rear pan raised was the way the real thing ran. If anything happened to the pan, say it were hit or damaged, or snagged the wire, the pan would fall back toward the train, out of further harm's way. If the front pan were OK, the engineer could raise it and continue. If the front pan were up, and anything happened, it could foul the rear pan, and you'd be screwed. Only in ice or sleet storms were both pans up; the front pan scraped the ice off the wire so the rear pan could have good contact

Hi, This is an MTH "G Gauge" train which is considerably larger than HO. Thanks for your note.
