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?
------------------------------
Most railroads ran their combine at the rear of the train where its out of the way for switching moves-much like the caboose.
For runaround moves the combine would be used during the switching if operating rules permitted.Some roads frown upon the idea of a combine being use during a switching move..
