I run freight trains on my layout.Mixed freight trains thats what I saw growing up.I look back at that time and wished.I had taken some pictures of the trains.Anyway I like mixed freight trains you get different types of boxcars.Hauling different things such as coal,heavy machines,oil,frozen meats,truck trailers,lumber,powdered cement,scrap iron,steelbeams,plastic pellets,cars and trucks.I am just not a fan of unit trains I find them to be boring.So how about you guys?Do you like mixed freights or unit trains on your layouts.
