Chainsaw Spidertron Artillery Train! No turretts or walls!

"The Chainsaw" artillery train is a synergy between artillery trains and spidertrons, with a bit of a spin into it. Or let's say a lot of spin into it!
Spidertrons were made to follow artillery train wagons to a distant outpost.
The outpost though has no defences or walls at all! The Spidertrons and "The Chainsaw" spining are all that is needed!

I wonder if a different s or off train routing could avoid the spidertrons leading behind.

less locomtives make it go slower so spiders can fallow more closely.
However the spinnig effect and the centrifugal force feel will be lost.

I used mid road train stops to avoid it afterwards for the spidertrons to catch up without me steering it and worked fine.

I’m looking at that post and wondering how late it was when I wrote it. I have no idea what I meant by “s or off”
