Thank you for your posts, I spent quite sometime last night on the net looking over Iron ore and related information. I am struck by how many smaller engines than the decapod are working the eastern Ores. I probably will have the Decapod bring it down in sets of 4. Air Capacity and Braking power apparently is very important. I am also not too worried about the HO 3% as my BLI heavy Mike can run 15 cars up that grade. I think the Heisler will go to the Logging area, it would be a while before I generate the actual construction as I am still planning the trackwork. That Athearn 2-8-2 shown in Fergiemiester's picture sure does not like that curve! I recall a 18" curve that had about 3 inches worth of 15" in a kink if you could get a Bachmann 2-8-0 past that while the tender trucks threatened to ride up. =) Once again, thanks for your ideas, it helped to focus more on what I can do with the planning.
