Hi Jim, <br /> <br />The guys who run our local model shop sell Bachmann and USA and always advise people that if you don't want to mix the scales then have operating sessions that suit you at the time. If you are in narrow guage mode run your 2-8-0 and a short mixed train. In standard guage mode run a nice beefy SD40-2 with a rake of freight. Agree with everyone else, Aristo or LGB track is the best with metal wheeled stock, but I do have problems with my consolidation over the Aristo switches - time to get the file out I suspect. Don't forget your power. If you go mains get the highest amperage you can, I was running my consolidation on Sunday (a hot day) with lighted stock and it kept tripping out the safety on the 5 amp supply. <br />Happy railroading, <br />Kim <br />[tup] <br />
