QUOTE: Originally posted by Overdurff The Consolidation was the Geep of its rail road career. Generally small diameter drivers gave it good muscle to lug small freights and mixed trains over the main and branch lines, possibly 15 to 20 cars depending on the topography, although in modeling terms probably 5 to 8 car trains is more likely. The 1970 passenger cars would be a promotional/fan triptype of application, since most of these steam locomotives would have been scrapped in the early to mid 50's and replaced by switchers and road switchers like the Alco RS and the EMD Geeps.

QUOTE: The 2-8-0 was a passenger locomotive because it had larger drivers. I guess if you are going to be unprototypical using it to run Amtrak cars, you can use it to run freight. Tom

QUOTE: Go ahead and use it for freight. If any body wonders why, just explain it as a test run after a major over haul[swg]
