Looking at the thread about helpers and the reference to Mid train helpers I am wondering why fewer modern (AC) locos don't rip all the drawbars out or split their trains with too much pull from the front? If it used to be necessary to put power in the middle or at the back why isn't it needed now? they haven't upgraded / replaced that much of the freight car stock have they... or have they? <br /> <br />Does anyone still operate their layout with mid train helpers? Does anyone do this with powered locos? With DCC? <br /> <br />With DCC do you match them in with your head end locos or drive hem seperately?
