I am building a model of an indutriel branchline stub-terminal and would like to know if steamers and doodlebugs. I would be willing to live without steamers and doodlebugs[:0][:0] and make my modeling era the late 50's but that is a last resort. My main attraction is the coulerful early deisels but i enjoy nice model steamers ( not the cost though !!!! ). anyway I am pressed for space and am wondering if a turntable is nesecary . I geuss I could have a track that runs of the table simmulating a track to a turntable and turn the trains by hand but one of the main goals of this layout is realistic operation. I geuss this is the overall question: would it be unprototypical to not have a turntable and just run the steamers and doodlebugs backwards ? This is a short branchline supposedly running from a large yard in Oklhoma City into the suburbs. Thanks for any input ![:)][:)][:)][:)]
