Totally agree! There is something massive about those matchups. These consists look like they're moving even when they are not. And you can feel the force of it all.
I have an older set of the Tuscan brown MTH PRR heavyweights. They are really heavy. My 736 balked and spun its wheels, but my Williams scale GG1 didn't even flinch.
When I run this stuff, I can almost sense the mass and momentum of the real trains. And all of this strength was for the sake of the relatively lightweight (by comparison) human beings who rode these cars and depended on them to get to wherever they were going.
So much fun and so little time.

The MTH PRR Heavyweight Set pulled by a WBB E-7 PRR is a
beautiful set as well. To see these powerful looking cars being
led by the power units I have listed is a great treat for this three
rail fan. Good Topic, and pictures above.
