Paul and Mike,
Since we live in a modern age, we can say you guys are "twinsies" when it comes to your LE Locomotives
Paul you have Georgetown & Western 4-6-4 Hudson 9100 and 4-8-4 Northern 1690
Mike you WILL have Lackawana 4-6-4 Hudson 1154 and 4-8-4 Northern 1637

Pam should get on the bandwagon you know since she's building her Santa Fe 4-6-4 Hudson 3464 she should build as well *wink, wink* Santa Fe 4-8-4 Northern 3751 lol.

Just ideas going out there. Thanks and Keep on Steamin' My Friends,

David

What do you use and how do you to haul 27 cars? Plus engine(s) and tender(s).

To start I use special custom built carts 10 freight cars on 1, loco tender and 4 cars on another and my 10 heavyweights on the last,(see pictures below) Paul will bring his engine and tender and 5 or 6 of his cars in his truck

then I will put the 3 carts in my truck and trailer and away we go.....

Lucky America!
In Europe we are dreaming of 20 Hopper Cars or 25 coal / iron ore cars at a meeting ... but on just 5 " gauge.
Great job!
