Here in the UK we tend not to have ver large trains, hence 1 loco will do. However, you do get times when locos need to be moved back to various depots. Hence you get the interesting situation of 4 or 5 Class 67s (made by GM in Spain for EWS to pull mail trains) moving along the lie with 4 or 5 cars! Also, there are 'route learning' or 'piloting' duties. On some passenger workings, you can either have a diversionary requirement (where an electric train has to be diverted away from the wires and thus a diesel is sent), a loco sent to rescue a failed train (GM at supplying new engines etc to Class 47s and producing a series called the Class 57s. These are 'Thunderbird' rescure locos, with names from teh TV series!). Finally, passenger trains require ETS (eletric train supply) and you sometimes get an interesting mix of older and newer power working together. <br /> <br />Jason
