Well guys, I have decided to use a few of the engines that Sumpter250 posted up, more specifically, the 2-4-2 Columbian, to switch the Apple Peak Yard, and perhaps have it just dominate the roster.
I am expanding what I'm looking for to the following:
4-4-0s
2-6-0s
4-6-0s
2-8-0s
0-4-0Ts
0-6-0s
2-6-2s
0-4-2s
I have a fascination with old steam, and those are my absolute favorites. I am also considering using a gas motor like the EBT's M-1 to haul commuter traffic, rather than run a passenger train. I had considered a baggage-express car, three combines, four coaches, and a parlor car, but now I think I may replace it all with a doodlebug. The railroads cost-cut using that technique, so why can't I?
I'll be sure to give you guys some updates on what all I find, and what I intend to use.
