Hi captain Carrales <br />I set my train length based on what I had done indoors on the small scales. <br />so the figure I worked on was eight freight cars for the bogied stock <br />( just like the US type freight cars made by Bachmann ect ) <br />My passanger trains are two or three old timers may be four when I can <br />find and afford an LGB D&RGW baggage car either std length or shorty train set sized one. <br />The trains are not large by any means but you do have 4x the visual <br />impact the small scales have. <br />Small line limitied traffic small trains <br />Large line heaps of traffic long trains <br />So I would think it comes down to how you view your empire that should be determining your train sizes. <br />The locomotive I have that is well and truly capable of heavy hauleadge would run out of track before had it Ioaded up so it has to work for a living <br />my line is as level as I can get it but stage two will have a 1 in 64 grade which sould not bother things too much <br />regards John
