What the HELL are you talking about? 12 seconds? dude... unless you have like 10 pounds of rotational mass, that is impossible.

How long the train spins in freewheel is irrelivant. If you have 0 rotational mass, it will spin freely, but wont freewheel very long at all because there is no inertia keeping the train moving. The more rotational mass, the more inertia is created when you apply force to the train.

So if your train spins for 12 seconds, you must be spinning it really hard, and must have bowling balls attached to your wheels
