Yes my bad HO scale of course is the correct answer as you noted in earlier posts so I would classify your answer as an accurate observation not an assumption...... 
Era: Transition late 1950's
Location: Appalachia, extending up to Pa. then east to NJ route of the PRR
Car length: typical of the era 40' to 50' max.
Car type: 100 ton & 70 ton coal hoppers main revenue haulers of the railroad
Passenger cars: Heavy Weight PRR coaches with one N&W express passenger train on a daily run.
Typical train length: Never long enough and as close to the prototype as possible.
Realistic train length: 30 to 40 cars maybe.
Power: Articulated Steam Y3 Y6 A type, Heavy Mountains, Berkshires, K4 Pacific's for passenger service
Yard Switchers, 0-8-0 & 0-6-0 and several RS2 and RS3 road switchers.
I think that ought to cover it.................

I reject your reality and substitute my own
