With this small size of a layout, you want to think small when you pick out your engines and cars. Nothing looks worse than a huge engine or car trying to go around a sharp radius curve. Besides small engines and cars will make the layout look bigger. <br />The largest engine I would choose would be a 4-axle Kato or Atlas and a few 40' cars and a nice caboose. <br />Or, if you wanted passenger service a Kato RDC would be nice. It is a little on the long side, but could run just one and it would have the entire RR to itself. <br />My current layout started out with one of these RDC's and I added a Kato RS-2 and a few freight cars because I like switching. And my layout is built on a 36"x80" door. <br />The Kato RDC is a very nice piece of work that has reversing headlights and red marker lights. And you can add a light kit for the interior. <br />Smaller SW's engines would be nice too and Atlas is coming out with an MP15 which would really be nice on a small RR. <br />Good luck, <br />gtirr
