Depends on how much you are willing to compromise. I use at least one observation car, one dome and one coach (three of my Athern cars) on commuter movements. I use all these and a diner and a baggage car on scheduled intra city service. I throw in a combine and a sleeper for longer trips. I wish I had another coach or two and another sleeper. I also have a MHC which I add now and then. Oh, whenever I use more than five cars, I use two engines. If you want to model a specific train, you will have to look at that train; for example, if you model the Auto Train you will need at least five full dome lounge cars and five Amtrak autoracks with a few baggage cars and a MHC or two and probably a diner and some sleepers. Hope this helps. - Ed
