[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Roadtrp My passenger trains are usually 4 cars plus a locomotive; my freights are usually 8-10 cars plus a loco. I've run my freights at 18 cars, but it just doesn't look realistic on my 3-1/2 x 7 'N' scale layout...[/quote] I have the same issue on my 2 1/2' x 5' N layout. I've run up to 20 cars around for kicks on a rare occasion, but normal operations have never seen a train get more than 10 cars, normally seven or so. They are also predominantly 40' or less for the same reason. ---jps
