Depends on the load I'm hauling. Intermodel 2-4 C44-9s, 3-4 SD40-2s, or 2-3 SD75s with 30-40+ cars. Grain 2-4 C44-9s, 2-4 SD60Macs, 3-6 SD40-2s sometimes mixed with GP50s, or 2-4 SD75s with 30-50+ cars. Coal up to 6 on all C44-9s, SD60Macs, SD75s, and SD90Macs (UP/CP only). Mixed trains use all power mostly 4 axle locos and I have had 11 4 axle engines run on one train. 90%+ are all of the BSNF family the rest are UP/CP. My layout is 15X33' Double Mains with concrete, in the process of expanding to an additional 15X18' so the layout will be in an L shape format and I am converting it to Single Main with concrete and wooden sidings. Will have Double Main concrete with helper district going over pass, 70' + of run on pass @2%. <br /> <br />Ross <br />Spokane, WA
