Far less common, but it did happen, was steam and diesel working together on the same train. A steam engine pushing at the back as a banker would be reasonably common. However, coupling them at the front was not successful because soot and cinders interfered with the diesel's breathing. <br /> <br />Run what makes you happy. At some time somewhere it was most probably done in the real world. If we don't ad lib a bit the pedants would find nothing to criticise and then they would not feel fulfilled. Gotta keep everyone happy. [:P][;)] <br /> <br /> <br />
