[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by grandpopswalt I beg you, think carefully before you go down that slippery slope. Dieselization is the path to financial ruin. [/quote] In my case, I like small "local" railroad action. Steam makes more sense for the type of garden railway I like. I think the bias is that with diesels you have some factors at play... 1) Realistic Stream is hard to photograph- The puffs and chuggs of real railroads don't seem to scale down. Additionally, its been a long time since such action was common place. 2) Lots of road names and more "Flash" on Diesels- The Paint schemes on the various diesels represent lots of fodder...with the fallen flag diesel issue, we have a even more nostalgia at play. Most, Americans anyway, grew up with diesels. 3) Diesels can pull more- People like to see long trains pulling almost endless hoppers or a good mix of rolling stock. That's the way I see it...
