PS: Mark....stick with the smaller scale stuff on the Blackwater Canyon Route. Get yourself the 0-4-0 and 44 tonner...I think both come in Western Maryland. The smaller stuff makes a layout look bigger. Even on my layout, the smaller stuff looks better. When I use the Premier engine 4-8-4 and it's pulling those awesome passenger cars you sold me that train is 12 to 13 feet long and while looking great really shows how small the layout is...really!
You should focus on running older-time trains that were generally smaller and shorter than the monsters of today. My 0-4-0 is my favorite! I pull a string of wooden stock cars...got a custom painted bobber caboose!
