Normally the steam locos are pulling passenger trains and the diesels handle freight. The rationale I use is that the diesels aren't yet equipped with steam generators to provide heat for the passenger cars. It works for me. The one diesel that is used for passenger operation is an Alco FPA-4 in green/gold Canadian National colours. <br /> <br />I just wish steam models were more affordable, otherwise I have found that my layout is gradually dieselizing. <br /> <br />Charles <br />Hillsburgh Ontario <br />[/qu[8D]ote][8D]Smoke gets in your eyes, but diesel fuel never washes out.[8)] <br /> <br />Don a/k/a The Steamer Man <br />Danvile, Va. <br />[/quote]
