How long are your trains you run - How many cars??

[jeffrey-wimberly]

I model in HO. What I'm listing is what is currently on the layout. My longest is 15 units. Two powered Athearn BB F7's (DCC A-B set) and 13 cars. The shortest is 9 unit. One Athearn F7 and 8 cars. I also run one train of 10 units. One Athearn F7 and one Athearn GP50, both DCC, with 8 cars. My layout is roughly 8 x 10 feet.

Mostly this would depend on how big your layout is I guess. Mine is a N scale u shape 19 ft long  by 5 ft on one end and 7 ft on the other so I can run some long trains. I have run as many as 70 cars in a mixed freight being pulled by 7 diesels and a coal drag with about 60 coalporters with 5-6 diesels. Most of the time though, I usually run about 30-40 cars.

How about you guys ?     Show some pics or videos.
