[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by John Busby Hi All As a railway employee regardless of type of wagon get a variety of sizes on modern railways they are all the same with modernisation came standardisation. Back in steam and early diesle days they where all diferent sizes some where not even the same width the most common wagons are open wagons (Gondolas) with or without tarp rails and box vans. Unless you plan on a major coal moving line one hopper and two gondolas might be better. As it is a steam line I would expect a greater variety of stock than a modern one once things start to grow IF you can afford it have a policy of twos ie two Texas oil tankers two N&M stock cars and make sure the home road wagons out number the visiting ones. regards John [/quote] John, Thanks, I am depending on just such imput. A Hopper and two gondolas sounds excellent. As for stock cars, I to plan to buy some for conversion to N&M RR. Tank cars are going to come a little later since I plan to one day build and oil field and/or refinery. Ondrek, My skill are still a bit novice to be building from scratch, but I do plan learn. I want to mix my stock as per John and others have mentioned. I am real excited, I have spent the last few days with my Grandfather clearing some brush behind the house that had gotten out of hand. Grandpa's a bit old, but is a real wizz with the chainsaw. Again thanks, Capt Carrales
