Tricky. I voted freelance, but as my layout's a fictional museum line all the locos and cars are in their original paint schemes. I've tried to come up with vaguely plausible reasons for the locos that I run - I've come up with the idea of the museum being run by several different groups - the Fairbanks-Morse group, the SP group, etc. This is a common feature of many such lines over here, where there are usually several different groups operating under the overall name of the line. <br /> <br />I tend to run a varied mixture of stock. A regular run is an FM Erie-Built with a couple of CNW bilevel coaches - my fiction to support this is that the loco was re-engined by the group and had head-end power fitted at the same time... I also run modern freight cars behind CSX motive power, as they have track usage rights to service a couple of small industries based on the line - these trains are sometimes hauled by the museum's locos as well. There are also other passenger services such as a Metrolink bilevel cab car with a loco, or sometimes an Oscar/Piker set (the Walthers models, again, the fiction is that they were rebuilt from parts of a wrecked observation car that were donated to the line). <br /> <br />Edited to fix poor spelling!
