John.
Due to layout size (81 sq feet) I am limited to the length of trains I run. In addition, shorter trains provide the illusion of greater distance between towns without the trains over powering the surrounding scenery.
Have Fun.... Bob.

Bob, I have been curious about your layout operations. You don't seem to run long tains. Do you follow a schedule at times? I had the oportunity to operate with Wit Towers and he ran short trains. To satisfy the urge for long trains he had one hot shot through reefer train with sound. I designed my 13X15 N-scale layout for an average 10 car train. I plan to have a few long trains say 18 cars that will be high priority double headed ( deisel ) .
I am not a proto freek but I thoroughly enjoyed the time with Wit and the crew I was with.
Youre pictures remind me of the ALP.
John

A brakeman waves back to a railfan as his train makes its way across the Wye Junction Trestle.
Have Fun.... Bob.
