I'm modeling the B&O's Sand Patch Grade, and the passenger trains that ran over it in the 1950's: The Capitol Limited The Shenandoah The Washington-Pittsburgh-Chicago Express The Cleveland Night Express The Ambassador The Washingtonian (and the Daylight SpeedLiner that replaced it...) The Columbain Mail & Express Trains 31/32 And to use up excess equipment, a train that ran briefly in the late forties, which I am modeling as if it continued to exist: Pittsburgh 79/Washington 80 (Renamed The Fort Pitt Limited/Blue Ridge Limited for my version; those names are both real and used during previous years by the B&O). Most of the above trains can be done in eight cars or less and be realistic; because of my layout size, I've had to shoehorn in the Cap at nine cars, although 10 or 11 would be better. C'est la vie.
