Ah Thanks guys, yea chose '35-55 for the diesel aspect, don't want to fully abandon it. I'm thinking mixed passenger-frieght combo's. yes I know certain engines never pulled passengers, or standard frieght. the "Allegheny" was a coal runner, but grossly misused, for it's abilities. So I'm thinking slap it in front of a long haul passenger train with some Frieght attached. Lionel says theitr challenger will pull 80 cars, Rivarossi says the "Allegheny" will pull 100 cars. not bad numbers, but doubt i'll ever get that long, as long as it can handle around 12 cars on a2-3% grade, i'm fine. now to add to the mix, what about Broadway Limited engines? reading they're good, but want input. Then there's Trix, It's by Marklin, so I'm assuming they're AC engines? So many choices, so many decisions. Jay
