I have seen pictures of mixed trains running backwards but never with more than 12-15 cars. However if it doesn't say, with a still picture it's hard to determine which direction the train is going 
. As Terry knows my home layout is N. I don't have a lot of room at home and I didn't want a layout in which the train doesn't seem to be going anywhere so I tried (with some doubts) N scale. Glad I did, I would never consider anything else now. I work mainly in O at work but we do have some HO, S and G. Working on the locos themselves is easier in the larger scales but everything else is the same or easier in N. Scenery is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy easier in N. But your mileage may vary as they say.
