Wel,, I don't know about N scale, but I know that I agree, modern Class 1 railroading has it's downfalls, which is why I model a shortline, which has an emphasis on switching and slow(er) train speeds.I remember a few months ago in the spring, I was outside at the Steaming Tender restraunt, (located at the Palmer, MA diamond) watching a NECR GP38 (no Dash 2!) a leased CN GP40-2W, and an unknown BN loco switching the yard, hearing the slack crashing, watching the railroaders throwin switches, and trying to figure out what they were doing.For me, that's MUCH cooler than a pair of SD70s blasting past with a stack train, sure, that's exciting to see it approaching, and feeling the ground shake as the units pass,  but once 10 or so cars go past, it just gets..well....kinda boring!
