Need advice on making up a NG freight train
| August 22, 2010 11:39AM |
Hello All,
This is my Accucraft #346 C-19 running with my J&S coaches, at the Fairplex Layout in June. I will be running again on Saturday, November 6th. I have a question for those here who are familiar with how the D&RGW and C&TSRR make up their freight trains for special runs. In other words, how are the various cars placed in the train? What order, etc). I will be running a ten car freight with the C-19, 2 high-side gons, 1 drop-bottom gon, 1 reefer, 3 flats, 1 tank (Conoco), 1 box (3000 series) and a shorty caboose #524. Any ideas or suggestions? As protoype a possible.
