I am working on furnishing rolling stock/locomotives for a 1955-1960 era N Scale model railroad. I have the Bachmann Spectrum Santa Fe Doodlebug (which is in the dark green sides/dark red front color scheme). I am now looking for one or more cars to pull behind it. My questions are: A) Would more than 1 heavyweight car be pulled behind a doodlebug? B) I do not want to buy a $50 set of cars for this, so right now I am looking at Model Power's Santa Fe heavyweight cars (items 8620, 8625, and 8630 on Walthers). Are these what my doodlebug would pull? They appear to have a different paint scheme. Are Model Power's products any good? They seem kind of cheap. What brands would they compare with? C) Of the 3 cars stated in B, which should I purchase? If Model Power isn't very good quality or these cars just aren't right, what do you recommend?
