Thank you all for kind comments. I am only using one track this year since I feel the double tracks of past layouts limited the number of village building and accessory pieces.
Since this track length is pretty long, I was considering running two trains on the same track. The potential issue is that one locl would be slightly faster and eventually bump into the rear of the other consist. I think I have that solved by using one conventional locomotive and one LionChief Plus locomotive. A conventional loco pulling a longer consist would require higher voltage to move. Getting that consist moving at a constant medium speed ought to allow enough voltage to power a LionChief Plus led consist that I can manually control to ensure separation between the two and avoid a collision.
