The longest train I've ever run was when I was still building "modern". It was an SD50,SD60, and SD40-2 ( C&NW ) pulling 70' of autoracks, 4-truck tank cars, Hi-cube box cars, and an eighty foot by twelve foot "I" beam on a flat with idlers ahead and behind.
The second longest was 40' of reefers behind my Clinchfield Challenger.
Modular layouts can make these long trains possible.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
