locomotive lashups

I buy sets of like engines. I find them easier to MU. I put the slow engine last to avoid destroying the couplers. The Steam, I run by themselves. If I need more pull with steam, I get the mallet out of the engine house.

I run whatever I need to. Most of my fleet is EMD. I have 1 Alco. This one normally runs by itself. I'll run a Geep with my steam locomotives if they need help. Most of the time I don't pu***he limits of my steam locomotives though.

The interest of this is that I make sure that the models are geared the same . I normally do not run a Bachmann with an Athearn. I do run Life-like/life-like all the time.
I also purchase my locomtives in pairs just for this reason.
