I love huge engines, too. However, I also have a small switching layout ... 2' X 15'. So, small equipment belongs on my railroad. It looks so much better, and the shorter equipment really helps out on the small spurs and stuff, giving more room. Good quality, first generation diesels and 40 and 50' rolling stock, properly tuned, make for alot of quality switching time. I had Walther's New River Mining building set laying around unbuilt for years, and I was honest with myself that I am not going to have any big layout until I retire, if at all, so I made industrial "flats" out of it. I have a small how to book on urban railroading .....tracks right in the roadway, in crowded industrial/commercial/port areas, in small areas. Might be an idea. Big, shiney diesels do make an appearance, but on the interchange track. I could not resist the clearance price on a BLI M1A Mountain, so that will be here in a couple of days. Just have to incorporate that into my railroad world somehow! Have fun. Jim
