Brakie, this is a great thread.One aspect of locomotive selection was not really covered.  I was recently on the property of the Georgia Southwestern Railroad, and they had no six axle locomotives.  The reason for this was that the original roadbed was built in the 1860's on some branches of their line, and the curves were too sharp for a six axle unit to handle.  They are militant EMD folks, and have (not for much longer, I understand) two bulldog nosed FP-9's.  They also had a small passenger consist of three cars that they ran for community excursions on an exceptionally rare basis.They run a lot of rock in open hoppers, and a lot of covered hoppers of varied freight.  (A lot being 13000 cars a year as of last year.)  They have one caboose, which is for sale and not used.  I would love to model these guys just because they are a pretty colorful outfit.  Their website is: <a href="http://www.gswr.com/">www.gswr.com</a> Erik FeddeErik
