Notwithstanding the above, my Texas Special is pulled by MTH F-3s, because E7s are too big for my 15 inch cars.

Mickey mouse and goofy never ran a hand car either, but it sure made for a cool and collectable toy though. I myself don't model after exactly what a particular unit did in real life. I pull all kinds of consists that I'm sure it's real life counterpart never did. I will still take the one on the right. But that's just me. And the track your units are sitting on isn't really how it looks on a real line either. Grab a cup of coffee and take a walk down the tracks and take a peek. But it is the track I choose also!
