Good idea's there Brakie, thanks.
The 'mixed train' could be a neat feature .... If the combine coach is also used as the caboose, does it run at the rear of the train? If I recall correctly, here in the UK mixed trains tended to have the coach at the head end next to the locomotive, was US practice different?
As I said, this is a new period for me, so lots to learn!
@ Railohio: thanks for the Detroit pointer, I have managed to track down a couple of photos and a neat video of the Detroit car float! https://smallmodelrailroads.wordpress.co...il-marine/
Cheers,
