As far as double-heading, that can be justified by running older diesels on a local. Two units are dispatched regardless of tonnage in case one of the oldies conks out! MY LL P2Ks can haul 50 cars with 2 SDs or 3GPs no problem. The lengths of your sidings should determine train lengths. Don't go with the most you can pull, but with what looks right on your layout. I'm guessing from other posts that you are HO scale. Thats what my 10' X 20' layout is. I have a double tracked mainline so I can run whatever length I want. I do have a single track bottle-neck over a drawbrridge to keep things interesting
