I like doubleheading but don't wanna spend over 1000 again! What do you think?

This is a tough one Matt, as I'm not sure any of the manufacturers have actually gotten into steam dummies yet (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). Your best bet would be finding problem locomotives at a discount, and just ripping out all the electronics and motors so it free-wheels.
A scale big steam loco dummy would cost 80% of the powered I bet....so I don't see it.
I did buy two MTH 2-8-0 locos that had been bought just for their PS2 guts and then dumped. I have wired the two locos to one DCU and now I double head and they work perfect together! Still had less than the cost of one new loco.
