i am trying to have a decent roster that represents what the Southern Pacific owned at the time i am modeling. on the line i am modeling, Beaumont Hill, the SP usually ran anywhere from 4 to 10 locomotives per train so i need lots of power to make a decent looking train. say the SP had 6 SD45's and 24 SD40T-2's running as helpers on the hill. if i had 1 model SD45 i also need 4 model SD40T-2's so i can try to represent the same consists with the same numbers and types of diesels. it just makes it look better to me. to be honest, i dont need all the locomotives that i own, but if i have an operating session with 15 trains, i dont want to run the same diesels on different trains all the time (except for the helpers) i want to have a unique consist on each train.
