I wanted to add that organizing your roster by "Job" may make it easier on your railroad's motive needs. I use Covered Wagons (F3, E8's etc) deisals for the Passenger and Express runs while hood deseils such as the trainmasters get slow drags. The Mallets such as the Bachmann 2-6-6-2 will get turns. These are taking empties to mines and bringing down loads. And the Mountains will run manifest and bridge traffic. <br /> <br />And so on with Shays, Switchers etc etc. There are many ways you can use an Locomotive. This is also a time for excellent steamers never before seen in such quality aside from Brass. <br /> <br />Remember that a modeler also will have way too many engines for a given layout because of personal likes and desires (as well as funds and spouse tolerance) <br /> <br />Good Luck! <br /> <br />Lee
