Do you run newer equipment with your steam?
I model the modern era. When I run a steam engine it is as if it is pulling an excursion or special event with all passenger cars. I don’t use it to pull double stacks or stuff like that.

Never! Absolutely never! Hey its 1925 on the SLO&W, diseasals hadn’t even been thunk up yet… [;)]
Only when the rivet counter at the train club REALLY start to bug me. Then I’m likely to do something like pull my superliner train with my K4. [:D]
Sure! I pull brand-new 1949 PS-1 boxcars behind 1899 2-6-0s…
Early in the double-stack era, the president of American President Lines requested UP to run one of the APL stack trains behind Challenger 3985. UP was happy to oblige…so should you.
